    Hello everyone,
    Finally, I was able to install Windows 10, of course under Parallels (11).
    Everything seems to work well with the exception of the browser.
    MS Windows thinks it has to be Edge.
    But I wanted so much or Chrome or Firefox.
    Because these browsers allow me to get data from the websites I used to work with.

    Read everywhere that it is possible to change the preference browser.
    But I searched and searched for a place where I can obtain instructions to do the switch...
    Can't find this place(s).

    Can someone help with this?
    I would be thankful for such an information.

    With kind regards,
    Laurent1
     
  2. Hello El_,
    To Make Chrome or Firefox Your Default Browser in Windows 10 please follow the steps below:
    -> Navigate to Settings. You can get there from the Start menu.
    -> Select System.
    -> Click Default apps in the left pane
    -> Click Microsoft Edge under the "Web browser" heading. If there's a different default browser, you'll see that program's icon under "Web browser" instead.
    -> Select the new browser (ex: Chrome) in the menu that pops up.

    You'll see that your new selection is now listed under "Web browser."

    Hello Pradeep@Parallels,
    Thanks for your reply and information.
    I immediately followed the link you advised to be able to install Chrome.
    That's what I get from my Windows 10 version, which is Dutch.
    I only see ... Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer...
    No Firefox, no Chrome.
    Trying to find an app in Windows Store about Firefox or Chrome... perhaps it's me but I find no such apps.

    Please, please help me further... I need so much Chrome.

    With kind regards,
    El

    Hi El,
    Try the following:
    1. Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features to check if Chrome is installed.
    2. You can download the latest version of Chrome for Windows 10 here.
    3. Follow the steps given here in this link to set Chrome as your default browser and check how it works.
