Installing dev edge - does it replace existing edge?
If I install he dev version of edge does it replace/deactivate my regular edge version? Or does it become a new browser choice for me like chrome, firefox, etc.?

Lee Drake No it wont replace the current Edge for now because the old Edge based on EdgeHTML and runs on UWP while the new Edge with Chromium is a Win32 app, so that means that the old and new Edge can co-exist currently. This may change down the line.
- It gets installed as another browser, just like Chrome of Firefox.
- it installs separately and becomes an additional choice.
- No the old Edge remains no worries.

Lee Drake Microsoft Edge can be installed side-by-side with the existing version of Microsoft Edge and used completely independently from it.
