Hi Dave Medeiros, IE11 should handle these browser hints just fine. Some of our pages make use of them, but they are compatible with IE11. You should see no negative effects of running SharePoint pages in IE11.

Thank you Kerem for your response, 

 

We currently have IE 11 to run anything with sharepoint.com in the URL to run in compatability mode. Should this have any impact on our user base even though we are currently running in IE 11?

    Hi Dave Medeiros. As long as you are running IE11, everything should be fine. Some of our classic pages may instruct IE to use IE10 compatibility mode, which is expected. Our modern pages will make use of some of the new browser capabilities and IE11 supports those. So both modern and classic pages will work well using IE11.
