What happens if you uninstall edge and you don't have any other browsers?
How do you reinstall it or install a different one without a secondary computer?
I imagine you can install it through the Microsoft Store or via the add/remove Windows features function
Back in my days we had windows versions that didn't come with ethernet driver
USB stick with a browser installer or a portable installation.
Windows will probably gladly reinstall Edge via some update service.
I remember installing Netscape Navigator and Mozilla like this across some years. But it was CD-Rs.
Download file from another system.
Use wget in powershell to download it in same system.
Use winget to install browser.
wsl --installsudo apt updatesudo apt install firefox -yI'm super tired and thought for a millisecond that was going to say CLIPPY.
You can use winget via powershell winget install firefox
Or you use the Microsoft store to install another browser
curl
into a ball and cry?
From shell
For example
Hopefully you'd be able to do so from the Microsoft store
Winget like everyone said. But you can also download the exe with powershell if you know the url (otherwise just download the page and have fun finding the link haha)
