14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has recently announced that its new Chromium Edge is available for 32-bit Windows 10 as well as part of the Canary development channel.
Now at version 75.0.133.0, Microsoft Edge Canary is the version that receives updates every day, whereas the Dev sibling is only updated once a week.
A preview version of the new Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge was published a few weeks ago for Windows 10, but only the 64-bit operating system was supported. Beginning with today’s release, 32-bit devices can install it as well, albeit their number is expected to be rather small.
The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Edge are obviously identical, so you get the same look and features regardless of the one you download.
Microsoft has also updated the Dev version of Microsoft Edge, bringing it to version 75.0.131.0, and you can use the link in the last paragraph to download it. If you’re already running the browser, you can update it using the built-in update system at Settings > About Microsoft Edge.
Support for other platforms coming soon
The existing preview versions of the Chromium Microsoft Edge are currently available for Windows 10 exclusively, but Microsoft says that installers for older Windows and macOS are also on their way.
The company hasn’t offered any release target for these new Microsoft Edge flavors, but on the other hand, further information in this regard is expected next month at the Build developer conference.
In the meantime, those running older Windows, like Windows 7 and 8.1, can already install the Chromium Microsoft Edge using the existing Windows 10 installer, albeit no official support is offered at this point.
You can download Microsoft Edge for Windows 10 from Softpedia using these links, but keep in mind the browser is a work in progress and certain features aren’t yet ready.
