- Launch Edge browser.
- Click Settings and More.
- Choose Favorites.
- Navigate to Manage Favorites.
- Click More Actions.
- Choose Export Favorites.

Hi!
What do you think: when does arrive the Export function of Edge in the end user version like Win 10 Home?
This feature is currently available only in Insider Builds, but will soon appear in the final builds of Windows 10. When … I have no idea. :)
I’m also needing to export and am awaiting when Edge gets this done. At least they finally got around to adding browser extensions.
Is their anyway I can create the HTML file manually? I don’t have an insider build and I have ~1,000 bookmarks organized into folders and sub-folders.
I want to know how to create the HTML manually as well, is there an website that can help? I can’t find the export button
There is no export button. What ever you are showing is fake.
Just because you are incompetent to look around and find them doesn’t make the post fake! Look around you will see the settings! Things change in every Windows 10 version a bit and it has changed a bit in the latest version too!
The version of Edge I’m running, has no export. The heading you illustrate (“Favorites”) is, in my Edge, labeled “Import Favorites and other info”.
In an earlier post you stated that “this feature is currently available only in Insider Builds”. Not being a Micro$oft Insider, I don’t have that build. While I can’t go so far as to call your post “fake”, I will say that taunting us outsiders with features available only inside the walls of Redmond, is … less than useful.
Nope. It is not in my build. This post is worthless
This is not how it works as of Oct 2017. Under the Favorites/Settings, there is no button for Export. You have to click the IMPORT button, and then you see the Export button. Stupid, but that’s what I expected or I wouldn’t have tried it.
Apparently this requires the Creator’s update to have been installed in order to work.
I can’t do that in my corporate environment so that’s a pain….
