    Sure thing. Backing up from Windows 10 Mobile is tricky since sync is dead.

    Here's the fastest way:

    Export to File: In Edge on your phone, go to Settings > Favorites > Export to file. Save the HTML file.

    Transfer the File: Email the file to yourself or copy it to a computer via USB.

    Import on New Phone: On your new Android or iPhone, open a browser (Chrome/Edge), go to its bookmarks settings, and choose to Import that HTML file.

    That's it! Your favorites will be saved.

    Since Windows 10 Mobile is quite old, and if you have access to a Windows PC:

    • Connect your phone to a PC.
    • Use File Explorer to navigate to your device storage.
    • Your favorites/bookmarks might be stored in a file like Bookmarks or within the Edge data folder.
    • Note: Windows 10 Mobile doesn't provide a straightforward way to export favorites directly from the device.
