Upgrade to Edge 102

Follow the steps below to upgrade to the latest available Edge version: Once it relaunches, you can return to the About page and check that it has been updated to version 102.0.1245.30.

Download Edge 102 Installers

If you want to use Edge 102 on any operating system other than Windows 11 and 10, like Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Linux, MacOS, iOS, and Android, you will need to download its offline installers. You can download the latest Microsoft Edge installers (including stable, beta, and dev releases) from this link. You can also download the browser in your preferred language, using the tips given on the above-mentioned page.

Use Portable Edge Chromium Updater

If you are using Edge’s portable version, it will not update on its own. For that, a small tool known as Portable Edge Updater is available on GitHub, which allows you to install or update the existing Microsoft Edge Chromium to the latest build available. You can also use this tool to download the x64 and x86 versions from all channels, including the stable channel and the 3 channels from Edge Insider. Download the tool by opening the Portable Edge GitHub page and then clicking on the link provided by Portable.Edge.Chromium.Updater….7z. The tool is then downloaded. Extract it and then run the .exe file. Inside the tool, click on the channel and bit architecture you want to download (the versions are also mentioned). In this case, we will download Edge version 102 from the stable channel. The browser will then begin to update (or download). Once done, you can check if the Microsoft Edge Chromium portable 100 is now available on your device.

Closing Thoughts

Although Edge 102 does not bring any significant features to the table, we still suggest that you upgrade to this release as soon as possible. This is because it still includes several security updates that can keep your system secure and prevent attackers from exploiting the vulnerabilities.
