How to Install IE 11 in Windows 10

Installing Internet Explorer (IE) 11 in Windows 10 is a relatively straightforward process, but there are some important steps you need to take first to ensure that your system is ready for installation.

To download the updates required for the installation, click on the link for the appropriate file, depending on whether you are running a 32-bit or 64-bit edition of Windows 10. If you're not sure which one you have, don't worry - more information about specific updates can be found by clicking on the article numbers provided in the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles.

Before installing IE 11, make sure that all necessary prerequisite updates are installed. The table below lists the required updates for Internet Explorer 11:

If you've already installed these updates but your system is pending a restart or an update installation is still in progress, you'll need to complete those tasks before attempting to install IE 11.

To check if there are any ongoing update installations or pending restarts in Windows 10, open Control Panel, click on System and Security, and then click on Windows Update. If either of these is the case, you won't be able to automatically install prerequisites - instead, you'll need to manually install them before proceeding with the installation.

If your system fails to install the prerequisite software during the installation process, IE 11 will stop installing and an error message will appear. In this situation, you'll need to manually install the required updates before trying again.

It's worth noting that if you're using Windows 10, you may not even be able to use Internet Explorer 11 at all - Microsoft has permanently disabled the application through a Microsoft Edge update on certain versions of Windows 10. For more information, see the Internet Explorer 11 desktop app retirement FAQ.

By following these simple steps and ensuring that your system is properly prepared for installation, you should be able to successfully install IE 11 in Windows 10 without any issues.
