Profiles

You can find your profile in the top right corner of your Edge browser window. Click on it to learn more, switch profiles, etc.

It's super easy to set up a new profile - just click on your profile to get started. If you want a new personal profile, select "Set up new personal profile", or if you'd like to browse as a guest or set up a new work or school profile, and then select "Other profiles" to get started.

A profile in Edge lets you create a personalized browsing experience with separate bookmarks, history, passwords, and extensions.

You can either visit edge://settings/profiles or go to your Edge Settings (accessed by clicking on the three dots at the top right of your Edge browser window and then selecting Settings) and then Profiles on the left-hand side of the window. Then, find the profile you want to remove, and click on the trash can icon. This will delete its data from your device.

You can review and customize options involving automatic profile switching and more by visiting edge://settings/profiles/multiProfileSettings or by going to your Edge Settings (accessed by clicking on the three dots at the top right of your Edge browser window and then selecting Settings), then Profiles on the left-hand side of the window, and finally selecting Profile preferences under the Profile settings section.

You can either visit edge://settings/profiles or go to your Edge Settings (accessed by clicking on the three dots at the top right of your Edge browser window and then selecting Settings) and then Profiles on the left-hand side of the window. Then, click on the pencil icon next to the profile you are currently using, and select an icon for your default picture or enter a new name for this profile to appear.

Note: You must switch to the profile you'd like to customize to see this option. Simply find the profile you'd like to customize at the bottom of this Profiles page within Settings, and click on Switch to be able to customize your profile.

Yes, if you are signed into your Microsoft account, you can sync bookmarks, passwords, extensions, and more across devices which are also signed in. You can review and choose what is synced across your devices by going to the Profile page in your Edge settings (accessed by clicking on the three dots at the top right of your Edge browser window and then selecting Settings), and then selecting Sync under the Profile settings section.

When browsing as a guest, the browsing data in this guest profile is kept separate from the other profiles set up on the device. This means that when the guest closes all their windows on the device, Microsoft Edge will save the files downloaded, but will not save the browsing history, the download history, or the cookies & site data.

No. Extensions are profile-specific, so you can install different sets of tools for work, personal, or guest browsing.

Absolutely! You can open multiple Edge windows, each with a different profile, and use them side-by-side.
