Switching to the "real" Edge

In the end, every Chromium Edge version will sync with every other branch: extensions, history, settings, favorites, etc. A few problems:
- Stable Chromium Edge https://www.onmsft.com/news/arm64-support-tab-and-history-syncing-wont-be-ready-for-the-stable-version-of-chromium-based-edge, so initially, we will only be able to sync Canary/Dev/Beta <-> Canary/Dev/Beta (between two systems or multiple branches on one system).
- I do not think they will officially support intra-browser export/import. The sync process is currently only through your Profile. So, it's not Edge browser <-> Edge browser, but Edge browser <-> Profile on Microsoft's servers <-> Edge browser.
In Firefox and Chrome, sometimes you can export/import profiles just by copying the profile directory.
- In Edge it also works as long as you login to the same MSA account.
Thanks for all the info. But for some reason, when i look under settings, it says my account is not syncable and the sync arrows are grayed out???? I log into Win 10 using a local account so I'm not sure how effects that function. I would be okay if there is an import function on the new Edge that will allow me to import my favorites from Edge Dev. I can live without the extensions being transferred.
- Well use your Microsoft account to sign into your browser first
