If you recently upgraded to Windows 10 Microsoft Edge you get a cool new browser called Microsoft Edge. The new browser has "Bing" setup as the default search engine or default web address, and many would like to change that to "Google". Bing is not bad, it does list a lot of relevant pages for your search, but its not yet comparable to Google. The browser setting of Edge is a little different from other browsers (Chrome, firefox etc). The settings look like the settings of a mobile browser. The steps below will show you how to change default search engine from Bing to Google in Microsoft Edge for Windows 10:
