All browsers allow you to export and import bookmarks from other browsers. Usually, it is an easy task to use a simple menu system. Usually, the browser will prompt you to move them over from another installed browser. However, there might be times when need to manually move them over to a different computer. Or, you might want to export a copy and save it for use at another time. Whatever the reason, here is how to manually import and export your bookmarks on Microsoft Edge.

Export Favorites (Bookmarks) in Microsoft Edge

Click on the Settings and more button (three dots) on the upper-right corner of the screen. Then click on Favorites from the menu.

File Explorer will open up so you can find a convenient location to store them. By default, it will be labeled “favorites_M_D_YY.html” but you can rename the file to something else that works for your filing system.

For example, because I am doing this quickly, I’m just putting them on my desktop with the default file name. If you want to bring them to another computer, put them on a flash drive, network location, or cloud storage.

Now it’s time to import your bookmarks (Favorites) into another instance of Edge. Click the Settings and more button (three dots) in the upper-right corner of the screen then select the Favorites option from the menu.

That’s all there is to it. The bookmarks that you exported will be successfully brought over. Click Done.
