Hi,
Yes you will but not necessarily in January 15 2020.
may be few days later as the change will be gradually rolled out using the Windows update.
Microsoft will be pushing out the new Edge via Windows Update to the majority of Windows 10 users
"To help our customers become more secure and up-to-date, Microsoft will distribute Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) through Automatic Updates for Windows 10 RS4 and newer."

Hi,
So, as I understand Microsoft will push the new chromium-based Edge browser thru the Windows Update process, replacing my regular Edge browser, on my Windows 10 PC. Would it also replace the Edge Beta build on my Win'8.1 notebook likewise ?

- No, only Edge classic, Edge beta will stay Edge beta.
all of these experimental channels (Beta/Dev/Canary) will stay in tact. Microsoft needs them for testing and making new features for Edge.
just like Google has Chrome (stable/beta/dev/canary) channels.So, will I have to download and install the stable builds for both Win'8.1 and Win'10 as and when these are released by MS for these platforms ? I wish the Windows Update took care of upgrading Beta channel s/w to Stable ones automatically 😞
