donkey end
"End of Life" - this is the name given to the notification sent to the computers of millions of users around the world.
On January 12, Microsoft announced that (popularly known as "donkey" for its acronym) versions 8, 9, and 10 will no longer be supported. This means that these browser versions will not receive updates and become vulnerable to various web threats.
A small indulgence was made for those who use SP2 from Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, as well as Server 2012 - they will be pleased with the "farewell" patches.
So the only version Internet Explorer, which you can count on - 11th. According to the developers, this is the latest release of the legendary browser. You should not wait for new versions of Explorer.
What to go to
Either the world is filled with slowpacks, or many simply do not puzzle over how to replace or upgrade an outdated program, but by the beginning of 2016, the notorious Internet Explorer in the form of 8, 9 was installed on 20% of all PCs in the world or 10 versions. And these several hundreds of millions now need to choose for themselves another conductor on the World Wide Web.
The latter option will be of particular interest to those who have unstable Internet speeds. Thanks to the Turbo mode, even with a slow connection, page loading will be just as lightning fast. There is also a sense to experience. This web browser is characterized by maximum ease of use, which any Russian-speaking user will appreciate.
Internet Explorer is perhaps the most famous web browser, and to this day remains one of the most popular among users around the world, although in Russia, according to statistics, its position is far from being so strong: being pretty crowded out by such programs as Google Chrome, Opera Browser, Yandex browser, Firefox, as well as Orbitum, which is gaining popularity, most users perceive it only as a mandatory appendage to the operating system.
Nevertheless, among many, both consumers and content creators, this browser is still relevant for one reason or another.
Updates to the current version
As you know, many developers software release updates for their products at different intervals. Most often this is done in connection with the addition of certain program functions, adaptation to new equipment, as well as the correction of certain errors. But sometimes there are situations in which the release of a new update is due to the termination of support from the developers of older versions of programs. This is also true for the Internet Explorer browser, support for older versions of which by Microsoft has been completely completed. In addition, users who do not update the browser also lose critical security and compatibility updates for current versions of operating systems.
The latest and most current version of Internet Explorer is v. eleven, available to users operating rooms Windows systems 7, 8.1 and 10 (owners of Windows XP have the opportunity to upgrade to a maximum of the eighth version, working in Windows environment Vista will have to settle for the ninth).
In some cases, the browser receives the latest updates along with updates to Windows itself. This happens when the "Automatic Updates" option is enabled in Windows Update. In this situation, no action is required from the user, since the latest version of the browser is always ready to use. But in situations where automatic download updates is disabled or there is no permanent connection to the Internet, you have to update the program manually (often the browser will automatically remind you to download the next update).
For different versions of Windows, there are different approaches to updating Internet Explorer.
For Windows XP
Any official update It is recommended to download only from the websites of the software manufacturer. Firstly, for security reasons, and secondly, because of convenience, since the process is described step by step on the web pages of developers and is rather concise. However, in the case of Windows XP, for which official support Microsoft has been discontinued for several years, this option will not work. It will not be possible to organize the update using the means of operating system. Therefore, Windows XP users have only two options: search on third-party resources and take the necessary actions at your own peril and risk, or use a rather tricky way to edit the registry and change operating system signatures to try to update through the Update Center.
Windows Vista
For this operating system, update scripts via Microsoft servers are no longer available to users, however, browser version 9 can still be downloaded from the official website.
For 32-bit systems: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=29254
For 64-bit systems: https://www.microsoft.com/ru-ru/download/details.aspx?id=43374
After downloading, you need to run the file and follow the instructions of the installer.
Windows 7, 8.1, 10
For Win 7, there are two ways to update the Internet Explorer browser.
Through the Update Center
If configured automatic update, then you don’t need to do anything, in other cases, in the “Search for updates for your computer” section, you must click the “Check for updates” button, after which the OS will display a list of available updates, and the user will be able to select the required ones. At the same time, updates that are critical for the security and functionality of the operating system will be marked as "Important", but in the end the decision is still made by the user himself.
Using the Microsoft download page
You need to go to a special section of the Microsoft website located at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17621/internet-explorer-downloads, then select the version of Windows, and then the installation file corresponding to the bitness of the operating system ( bit depth can be found in the system properties). With this update method, forced deletion previous version no program is required: the installer will perform all the necessary actions itself.
It should be borne in mind that only those whose version of WIndows 7 has already been updated to Service Pack 1 will be able to install version 11 of Internet Explorer. If for one reason or another this update is not installed on the system, and the latest version of the browser is needed, the Update Center will help , through which the required files can be downloaded to the computer.
Win 8 does not support the latest browser. First you need to upgrade the system to 8.1, and only after that proceed with installing IE 11. Most likely, most users will not have to take any action, since few people were ready to work in the rather ambiguous Windows 8, and upgraded to 8.1 as soon as possible. Those who have not done this will still have to update the system to take full advantage of the eleventh version of the Microsoft browser (without this, the installation of the browser simply will not start).
All this is done in several stages.
- You need to run the Update Center and install all the current operating system updates marked as "Important". The computer may restart several times during the installation process.
- After all important updates are installed, you can proceed to Windows installation 8.1. This operation is available from the Windows Store.
- After completing the installation of the Win 8.1 update, the user also has at his disposal a fully functional version of the Internet Explorer 11 browser.
- By using windows update can be done both automatically and manual mode download and install all available updates for both the operating system itself and the browser.
In Windows 10, the developers initially planned to completely replace the outdated IE, but some compatibility issues forced them, to the delight of many users, not to remove Internet Explorer from the operating system. Therefore, at the moment, Windows 10 users can use two pre-installed browsers from Microsoft.
Microsoft Edge- latest browser, designed in the future to finally replace the outdated Internet Explorer, but which is an integral part of the operating system now.
Internet Explorer itself is the final eleventh version. All current updates can be obtained using windows services update. Moreover, by default, in Windows 10, auto-update is always on, and it cannot be turned off by the methods familiar to most users.
If you have a 32-bit Windows OS, download the IE11-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe installer. It is also worth noting that when installing Internet Explorer 11, all the necessary updates will be installed for the browser to work properly.
