Step 3: Install Internet Explorer
Click on the Internet Explorer app from the search results, and then click the “Get” or “Install” button to begin the installation process. The app will download and install on your device.
Step 4: Open Internet Explorer
After the installation is complete, you can open Internet Explorer by clicking on the app icon on your taskbar or by searching for “Internet Explorer” in the Start menu.
