The day has come. Tomorrow, on Valentine\u2019s Day, Microsoft is officially putting the legendary Internet Explorer out of commission<\/a>. If you still have bookmarks stored on this doomed program, you\u2019ll need to move them to Edge or another browser before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n

Microsoft stopped supporting Internet Explorer last year after deciding to focus all efforts on IE\u2019s successor<\/a>, Microsoft Edge. Now the company is finishing the job. The final nail in the browser\u2019s coffin is an update that will redirect all PC Internet Explorer icons to Edge. The shortcuts will stay put, at least for a few months, but after that, it\u2019s goodbye forever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How to export your bookmarks from Internet Explorer<\/h2>\n

Getting your Internet Explorer bookmarks ready for a newer, shinier browser is easy: the program has a built-in wizard that will walk you through the export process. The result is a single HTML file you can import to Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, or whatever software you want to use to surf the web. Even if you don\u2019t know which browser you\u2019ll use next, you should at least export your bookmarks before they vanish into the ether.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On Internet Explorer, open your favorites list by clicking the star icon<\/strong> in the top right corner of the screen. You can also use the shortcut Alt+C<\/strong>. In the emerging menu, click the down arrow<\/strong> next to the Add to Favorites<\/strong> button, and then choose Import and export <\/strong>to summon the wizard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the next window, select the checkbox next to Export to a file<\/strong> and click Next. <\/strong>The wizard will ask you what you want to export. If you\u2019re only saving the websites you\u2019ve bookmarked, check the box next to Favorites. <\/strong>If you also want to export your RSS feeds<\/a>, click the box next to Feeds<\/strong>; if you\u2019d like to export privacy settings, preferences, and other options related to frequently visited websites, check the box next to Cookies<\/strong>. Hit Next<\/strong> when you\u2019re ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the next window, you\u2019ll have to choose what bookmarks folder you\u2019re exporting. If you\u2019ve organized your collection of websites in specific locations, you can select them all here, but if you only have random links saved to your bookmarks bar, select Favorites Bar<\/strong>. With your selections made, click Next. <\/strong>Now you\u2019ll have to choose where you want to save the HTML file once it\u2019s ready. Internet Explorer will show you the latest location you used, which may be the downloads folder on your PC. If that\u2019s OK with you, proceed to the next step. But if you want to export the file elsewhere, click Browse<\/strong> and use the file explorer to find a new location. Hit Save<\/strong> to go back to the wizard, and once you\u2019re there, click Export <\/strong>and Finish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How to import your Internet Explorer data into another browser<\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve saved what you wanted to keep from your Internet Explorer days, it\u2019s time to find a new home for it on another browser. If you want to stay true to Microsoft, you may want to stick to Edge, but you should be able to import the HTML file to other browsers like Chrome.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How to move Internet Explorer bookmarks to Edge<\/h4>\n

As IE\u2019s heir-apparent, Edge will certainly give you the most seamless experience when importing your bookmarks, feeds, and\/or cookies. To start, find the HTML file containing your exported Internet Explorer data. If you\u2019re transferring information from an older machine, you\u2019ll need to move it to your new computer\u2014you can use your email, a cloud service, or a flash drive for this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

To import the file to Microsoft Edge, open the browser, click the three-dot menu<\/strong> in the top right corner of your screen, <\/strong>and go to Settings. <\/strong>In the General<\/strong> tab, click Import or export<\/strong>, and in the following step choose Import from a file<\/strong>. Use the emerging file explorer window to locate the HTML file you exported from Internet Explorer and click Open<\/strong>. Edge will create a new folder in the Favorites section called Imported from the bookmark<\/strong>. It\u2019ll be the last item on the list, and you can rename it to something else if you want to.<\/p>\n

How to move Internet Explorer bookmarks to Chrome<\/h4>\n

Since Edge was built on the same underlying code as Chrome, you\u2019ll be able to easily move your information there as well\u2014but only your bookmarks. Unfortunately, you won\u2019t be able to transfer your Internet Explorer feeds or cookies to Chrome.<\/p>\n

The import process for Google\u2019s browser is similar. Click the three-dot menu<\/strong> in the top right corner of your screen, <\/strong>go to Bookmarks<\/strong>, and then Import bookmarks and settings<\/strong>. Chrome will open a new tab and display a new window where you can choose the program you\u2019re importing your information from. From the dropdown menu, select Bookmarks HTML file <\/strong>and then click Choose file<\/strong>. Use File Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac) to locate the correct file and import it. When it\u2019s done, you\u2019ll see your bookmarks as a new folder titled Imported<\/strong> at the end of your bookmarks bar. To edit its name and contents, open the Bookmarks manager<\/strong>: go to the three-dot menu<\/strong>, and click the Bookmarks<\/strong> option to find it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
