2. In the top bar click / tap on the three stripes icon as shown in the image below.
3. A list will then appear, click on the Import favourites text link.
4. Then choose from which browsers you want to import your bookmarks / favourites and click on the Import button.
Wait for the import process to complete, this should only take a couple of seconds to complete. Once done all your old favorites and bookmarks will be avaiable in Microsoft Edge. Microsoft made importing the bookmarks / favourites quite an easy process in this process.
Where are my bookmarks / favourites from Microsoft Edge stored?
Microsoft Edge stores all it’s bookmarks / favourites in it’s own application folder. The full path to the folder is shown below. There is no reason to replace %username% with your own in the path below. Windows automatically replaces %username% with your current User Name.
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites\
You can paste old Internet Shortcuts in the folders and Microsoft Edge will automatically detect them. It does not use any new kind of storage.
