When someone sends me an email with a link I get an error message that my browser is out of date. So I cannot access the links. MSN Premium is still using Explorer and my new computer is using Windows 10 with Edge. Is MSN going to be updated to use Edge?

    There is a real convenience having MSN because I can check my mail and go to a few favorites I check each morning (eBay, Amazon, etc.)  I keep resubscribing to keep my convenient email address without having to set up a new one.

    But since getting Windows 10, the 32-bit MSN has turned into an unstable, annoying product that crashes, freezes and doesn't work lickity-split as it once did.  I have a computer I bought last year, so it's not my computer causing the problems.  I switched from DSL to cable for my internet connect, so it's not that, either.

    The fact is simple;  Microsoft is dragging their feet on updating MSN to 64-bit that's 100% compatible with Edge.  Until they do, we'll continue to have these problems,.....and I don't honestly believe anyone at Microsoft looks at this forum , either.  As long as they get their $59.95 from each of us each year, they're sitting on their hands.

    We all know the problem and have had the frustration for years.  My guess for the future is that when and if Microsoft converts Premium to the Edge browser, we all will be annoyed.  The "new" Premium will be devoid of all we like about the "old" Premium, especially the mail setup.    

    Somehow I stumbled onto this process.  When I open Mail & More, my mail is separated into three email accounts that I carry for convenience.  Also, I have Outlook with it being associated with one of the three email accounts, my MSN email account.  As I scan my Mail & More emails in the other two email accounts, anything I want to read I transfer to my MSN email account.  Afterwards, I open Outlook and read the emails I put there in my MSN email account.  Big time saver, gets rid of lots of stuff quickly that I don't care about.  It's annoying, but works.  I'm risk-averse, so I'm careful what I wish for - I might just get a Premium with Edge but lose all I like about Premium now.  

    I'm in with Premium until next January, then I'll decide whether to give up on Premium.  (I said that last year, too).

    It's crazy.  For some reason Microsoft does not want to support MSN Premium even though it's a fantastic email product.  This I dpn't understand and it's been that way for several years

    Microsoft Edge does not work with MSN Premium!  Only Explorer!  That's the problem.  MS does not upgrade their own MSN Premium, a much better email product, to work with Microsoft Edge.  That's what's so frustrating.

    There seems to be another compatability issue.  I have been on the phone with MSN technicians (who themselves are confused) about not being to open 

    attachments from Premium to Word--I get dialouge box that says I don't have access or permission to open the attachment--I am now going on my fourth 

    session totalling about 8 hours and no one can fuind the solution.  Of course, I can open the attachment on Outlook. Surprise?
