Microsoft will stop supporting earlier versions of Internet Explorer in next January

Microsoft announced as early as 2014 that it will stop supporting the old version of Internet Explorer from January 1, January 12, 2016 and will not provide technical support and security updates. Now, Microsoft will send a reminder on its product support website, encouraging you to Update to the latest version as soon as possible.

Now, Microsoft has replaced Internet Explorer with Edge browser in Windows 10. The company only pays attention to its new browser, so moving users to the new version has become a top priority. Unfortunately, the software giant cannot get rid of Internet Explorer overnight, but what it can do is to kill some older versions of Internet Explorer and slowly switch users to the new version.On July 6, October 16, Microsoft announced that it would stop providing technical support for multiple earlier Internet Explorer browsers on July 15, January 12, 2016.

Microsoft said on its official website that Internet Explorer users must update their browsers before this date, and pointed out that only the latest version can continue to be updated and security patches. The result is that in Windows Vista SP2, IE must be updated to IE 9, while in Windows 7, 8.1, and 10, IE must be updated to IE 11.

Microsoft provides two browsers in Windows 10: Edge browser and IE browser. Edge is the default browser in Windows 10, while Internet Explorer is buried in the operating system, so you must search manually, or search in the Start Menu application.

Experts once said that in the future, ie will be completely removed from Windows, but the company cannot do this now, because a large number of companies are using IE browsers in internal applications or services.
