I just did a fresh install of Win 10, following an irrecoverable crash of Win 7. Because of the crash, all of my IE Favorites were lost, so there is nothing in that location to "import."

However, I had thoroughly backed up my drive, so I DO have a copy of the IE "Favorites" FOLDER, including all of the sub-folders and Internet Shortcut files. There seems to be no way to "point" Edge toward this folder, and the only workarounds I've seen so far involve running arcane commands and editing registry files. Is there no easier way?

As of now, my IE "Favorites" file is sitting on the desktop of my newly updated Windows 10 machine, but I cannot find any way to connect the two. In case it matters, I have yet to bookmark anything in Edge, so I would not care if I had to wipe out the current list of default favorites.

Thanks for any help.

I have no idea why Edge isn't importing your favorites after they have been copied to the correct location for IE.

However, there is a 3rd-party application called EdgeMange that you can try. It might be able to read the folders where they are.
