It's this: edge://settings/defaultBrowser
but you said you can't have it, so your option is GPO

If I enable ie compatibility through group policy, users can choose whether to use IE compatibility mode.

 

Can the compatibility view in ie be achieved by opening ie compatibility mode in the figure below?

    No, only the latest IE.
    why do you even want to use yet an older version of IE? you really, i mean really, need to develop your website using more modern code.

    Are there any settings in edge to use the old ie engine?

    The compatibility view in Internet explorer is Not the same as Internet Explorer compatibility in Edge.
    in Internet explorer, compatibility means using an older engine of IE.
    in Edge, compatibility means using latest IE engine, inside Edge, for websites that can't be displayed in Chromium.

    Hello, I only got the following results through group policy. You can find the option to open in IE mode in more tools

     

    But now I have a website. Originally, I opened the compatibility view in ie, and then opened it after canceling the option of red box in the figure below.

     

    So my question now is, can I use IE mode in edge to achieve my original effect in IE? Do not need to do other configuration?

    If you website only loads when you don't check those boxes then don't do that, instead use the this: edge://settings/defaultBrowser
    to reload website on demand in IE mode

    I have a website developed by myself, which can be opened only by not checking the content in the red box below in the compatibility mode of IE.

     

    So in edge, how to achieve this effect?

    Oh, well yes the button does what it says, users can use it to run a website in IE compatibility mode on demand.
