Upgrading to Internet Explorer 11
Go to the Internet Explorer 11 download page at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/18520/download-internet-explorer-11-offline-installer. In a web browser, go to Microsoft's Internet Explorer 11 download page.
Scroll down to your preferred language. You'll see a list of languages on the left side of the page.
Click your operating system. You'll see your computer's operating system to the right of your selected language. Clicking this link will prompt the setup file to begin downloading to your PC. The Windows 7 setup file will work on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 as long as you choose the correct format of your version of Windows, 32-bit or 64-bit. If you don't know your computer's bit number (e.g., 32-bit or 64-bit), you can view it by right-clicking This PC, clicking Properties, and looking for the bit number to the right of "System type".
Double-click the Internet Explorer setup icon. It's most likely on your desktop.
Click Yes when prompted. Doing so will take you to the Internet Explorer 11 installation window.
Follow the on-screen instructions. This will consist of agreeing to Microsoft's terms of use by clicking I agree and then clicking Next, as well as selecting an install location and determining whether or not you want a desktop shortcut.
Click Finish. It's in the bottom-right corner of the window. Doing so will finish the Internet Explorer 11 installation process.
