Edge (Chromium based) in Windows LTSC

We have gone through many reviews of OS support channels and in our industry ( Banking ) we will require that a portion of our machines stay on the LTSC service branchs, upgrading to the next version...

Microsoft hasn't started rolling out the new Edge through Windows update yet. also since you are using Enterprise edition, you won't get the new Edge automatically, specially when you are using LTSC branch.

you can get it from here though

Okay:unamused:

Sadly, I can't use it then. 

I don't don't know why Microsoft is not pushing it to the schools. If this goes on then,

people from their early ages i.e. from student life will keep on using Google Chrome. It is in their home PC and pre-installed on their school computers by school IT department; they don't have to take extra efforts to sync or have continuity in their user experience. And once again nobody will not even try to use Microsoft Edge.

    But it's just how LTSC is..people who use LTSC branch chose that for this reason
    soon Pro and Home editions of Windows 10 will start receiving the update automatically from Windows update but for Enterprise editions, you have to do it manually.

      just to confirm that Edge for business can be installed manually if you have access to admin ID

       use IE to browse: the semi annual release channel:

              https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download

       choose the channel, release and platform; finally click download and install after.

       

      I chose stable 84, build 84.0.522.63, platform windows 32 bit for my x32 w10 LTSC
