A note from Terry Aurit, Savvy’s Chief of Instructional Design, regarding the move from Explorer to Edge:

I received this message and felt I ought to share with everyone. 

“No sooner than 30 days from today, we plan to enable a configuration change for your organization to help move users from the legacy Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) browser to the faster, more secure, and modern Microsoft Edge browser.

“This configuration change creates a better user experience by redirecting users from IE11 to Microsoft Edge. Many websites no longer support the IE11 browser, resulting in degraded or broken experiences when users visit them. This trend will only accelerate once the IE11 desktop application goes out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10. To help provide a smooth transition, user data (passwords, favorites, etc.) will also be transferred from IE11 to Microsoft Edge as part of this change.

…

“With this configuration change, a user who attempts to launch IE11 will be redirected to Microsoft Edge with a dialog window explaining the transition. The user’s data will be imported to Microsoft Edge from IE11 to create continuity across browsers. Additionally, future attempts to use IE11 will be redirected to Microsoft Edge.

“Note: To maintain access to business-critical legacy sites that require the IE11 browser, you will need to set up IE mode in Microsoft Edge before users switch from IE11 to Microsoft Edge. You should set up IE mode in Microsoft Edge before IE11 retires and goes out of support on June 15, 2022, for certain versions of Windows 10, or before upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11 since the IE11 application is not available on Windows 11.”
