What are Microsoft plans on replacing Legacy Edge in before March 9?

Not sure if this is the correct Hub to ask about, but i think this is the only one i found mentioning Edge. So, i have read that old Edge will be supported until March 2021. I wonder if there are any...

wroot Hello!  You are at the right place for MS Edge Enterprise discussions :smile:

 

Please see this article we recently published: 

Upgrading to the new Microsoft Edge through Windows Update (expanded) - Microsoft Tech Community


Beginning no earlier than July 30, 2020, Microsoft will update Microsoft Edge Legacy to the new Microsoft Edge browser by Windows Update on Windows 10 devices in education and business.

 

This will only impact Windows Update-connected education and business devices. This update will not impact devices in education and business updated by Windows Update for Business (WUfB) or by Windows Server Update Services (WSUS).

 

Business devices will be updated starting on August 31, 2020. This will be a phased rollout and you will be notified via the standard WU update process.

 

Hopefully that helps!  Thanks!

    So this says this will not affect WUfB or WSUS managed devices. My question is are there plans to release such update for WUfB and WSUS? Which will replace the legacy Edge with Chromium once approved/deployed or should we plan to do this by deploying Chromium MSI with other means?
