What happens if you uninstall edge and you don't have any other browsers?

How do you reinstall it or install a different one without a secondary computer?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago

I imagine you can install it through the Microsoft Store or via the add/remove Windows features function

Back in my days we had windows versions that didn't come with ethernet driver

USB stick with a browser installer or a portable installation.

Windows will probably gladly reinstall Edge via some update service.

I remember installing Netscape Navigator and Mozilla like this across some years. But it was CD-Rs.

Download file from another system.

Use wget in powershell to download it in same system.

Use winget to install browser.

sudo apt install firefox -y

From shell

For example

Hopefully you'd be able to do so from the Microsoft store

Winget like everyone said. But you can also download the exe with powershell if you know the url (otherwise just download the page and have fun finding the link haha)
