But until now, you had to download and install the browser manually because Microsoft delayed the rollout. Microsoft had chosen the approach described in the blog post Microsoft <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/16\/microsoft-chromium-edge-released\/\">Microsoft Chromium-Edge released<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Interested customers could get the Microsoft Edge as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/edge?form=MO12GC&amp;OCID=MO12GC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">download<\/a> for Windows 7 to Windows 10, macOS, Android and iOS since that date.<\/li>\n<li>The automatic rollout via Windows Update was planned for private customers (with Windows 10) from February 2020. First, Windows Insiders were supposed to get their turn in the Release Preview Ring &#8211; which happened now.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on what the telemetry reports back, other users will then be able to enjoy the new browser via Windows Update in the coming weeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rollout in waves can take months. It should also be mentioned that this only affects Windows 10 systems with Home and Pro in unmanaged environments. Windows 10 Enterprise installations and Pro systems running in corporate environments do not yet get the new Edge via Windows Update (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/13\/chromium-edge-issues-and-no-auto-update-for-enterprises\/\">Chromium-Edge: Issues and no Auto Update for Enterprises<\/a>).
