Reinstalled Windows, switched to Edge beta from Dev and now getting Sync error
- That's not necessary.
They already acknowledged (the Edge team) via Email response that they are aware and are working on the sync problem. I'm using Chrome Canary 79 for now and it's very stable as always.

I have quite similar problem as you SumitDhiman but not involving reinstallation; it's very strange seems to be cloud-related:
Yesterday evening I witness all my favorites in favorite bar starting to dissapear on my laptop, both on edge dev and beta, after few minute all the favorites were gone and the password also!
I immediatly checked on my android edge ( on edgium channel) and most of the favorites and passwords were gone too, but some were left maybe 10% of it.
I went then to check on my desktop and all favorites and passwords were gone, same as laptop.
Then over the course of maybe 30mn, passwords started to reappear , on laptop/desktop and android, every 10 mn I checked and some were coming back; after maybe 30 mn they were all back ( i have 1gbps internet)
On both computers in profile settings I get "syncing in progress" (translated from french) since ; on android i get " sync impossible (0x4)"
I just tried to install edgium on a very new PC and it's the same as on my laptop/desktop the passwords syncs OK but not the favorites, syncing in progress ==> so it seems it's not related to "userdata" folder but a cloud/account problem I believe.
Insider software or better say experimental software like Edge insider have no guarantee if loss of data happens because of them. it's in the terms of service of Microsoft's insider program. I never touched Beta, I only used Dev for 1 day but i've been on Canary since the start of the Edge insider program. at the same time I kept my passwords, favorites in sync, manually, with Google Chrome stable just in case. I hope you do the same and don't lose your data over experimental programs.
once Microsoft enables all of the sync options in this browser and run a bug bash on it to eliminate bugs, things will be more bug-free.
