How to use Edge instead of IE11 in Office 365?

Hey guys,

I recently tried to log in Office 2022/365 with my university account, but the Activation site is rendered with IE11/Trident. The page tells me that my browser isn‘t supported, so I can‘t  activate Office.

Trying the same thing on Windows 10/11 resulted in the website getting rendered by Chromium Edge, so I could log-in.

 

I installed Microsoft Edge WebView 2 on Windows 7 but that didn‘t change anything. I know that Edge won‘t replace IE11 internally on W7/8.1 machines, but is there any way in how to achieve that? Replacing IE11 with Edge would also allow some Windows 8.1 Apps to work again like Deezer, which doesn‘t work anymore as it shows that IE11 isn‘t supported anymore.

Is Edge your default browser on your Windows 7 machine?

Sure, IE is even deactivated in Control Panel. It must be integrated deep inside the system files, otherwise any browser could have easily replaced it
