Syncing Edge profiles (aliases)

I am running Win11 Pro x64, if that makes any difference for the solution to my problem.

 

Right now, I am using a Hargray email address (they are my cable company- TV and Internet). I have recently been informed that they will no longer be supporting email after 12/14/2022. I also have a Gmail account that I have also been using for years. 

My primary profile in Edge uses the Hargray account. What I want to do is to export all my settings from it to my secondary Gmail profile, make it the primary, then delete the Hargray profile. 

I've spent some time looking through the settings and have not been able to come up with a solution for this. Any suggestions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

SCTom46

    HI SCTom46,

    Thanks for sharing the concern, you can just signout of the edge profile and signin with the new one.

    Favorites: edge://favorites/ 3 dots and press export.

    Passwords: edge://settings/passwords 3 dots export

    have a wonderful day!

      Thanks, I finally stumbled across the Export settings. I exported to an HTML, then Imported from that file to the new profile.

      Other than just signing out, is there no way to delete the old one, or does it not matter?

       

      Thanks again!

        Yes, you can delete the old one.

        Go to Edge://settings or through the menu bar and beside your name, there is 3 dots. Click that and press remove.

        Press okay and done!


        You're welcome and have a wonderful rest of your year!
