Copy Favorites from XP to 10 / Menu Bar
Friend of mine decided he'd finally ditch his old XP tower and go to Windows 10. He got a Dell 8.1 that we upgraded to 10 Home Premium.
I told him I'd get his IE8 Favorites off the old tower, so I copied them to a flash drive, and copied them to
C:\Users\(user name)\Favorites. Using Explorer I can see that the files are in that folder, yet I see nothing using Edge. He'd be fine with Firefox, but there's no facility I'm aware of that let's us import Bookmarks from a flash drive.
Additionally I seem unable to create new favorites. I set Google as a Favorite, but the yellow star fails to display anything.
I was able to set his IE home page to what it was on XP, so at least that is working, although whenever we click on the IE icon it takes us to this silly page that says 'What do you want to do?' or something equally unhelpful. Since I was able to get the Home button to display, we have to click on that to get to his home page. Is there a work-around so we can go directly to his home page without making it a 2 step process?
Lastly is there any way to get the old reliable Menu Bar back on Edge? File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools and Help are sorely missed. How do you reset Edge without it? Disable Add-ons? Set default search engines? Delete browsing history, etc. etc.
