Microsoft Edge vs. IE

I'm curious to know if anyone is encountering any difficulties as people
transition from Windows 7 and 8 to 10. I just upgraded one of my laptops
to Win10 yesterday and find that my sites still seem fine in Edge but I
haven't done a thorough check yet.
Does anyone know if Edge is just IE with a few tweaks or a whole new
browser with entirely new code? I'm guessing it's the former; even the
icon is nearly the same. I would have expected a very different icon if
it was an entirely new browser. I don't see why Microsoft would have
gone to the trouble and expense of reinventing the wheel in any case.

I don't know. I do know that at least one microsoft.com page recently

rebuked me for browsing there with Edge, and urged me to return with
Internet Explorer instead, using any version from v. 6 on up :-) .
That may not help, but it sure gave me a chuckle :-) . Cheers, -- tlvp

Why are you guessing? Why do you not do some research instead?

“Edge” starts with an “E” as well.

Severely underinformed and ignorant, all that is left to you is jumping to
conclusions. Given IE’s bad record, it is in Microsoft’s best interest to
place between the new browser and IE as large a distance as possible, both
technologically and semantically.

As it is customary, the nickname is used in the signature and between the
first name and last name of the real name in the From header field value.
Apropos From header fields, the From header field of your posting is in
violation of Internet standards and of the Terms of Use of your service
provider: example.com is domain reserved for a specific purpose that is
_not_ regular Usenet postings. If you value your news account at least, you
better change the header value for future postings. The same applies to
“Rhino” since they are making the same mistake on the same news server.

The mistake made by whoever pointedly pointed out that a rhino is an
animal is a case of confusing a proper name with a generic one. Only
in very special sentences is the reference to rhinos used with a
capital first letter. For example, when a rhino is about to charge you
quite pointedly as you write a last email to a friend or family
member, the last desperate sentence, quite pointedly, being "Rhino!"
before you hit Send.
