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
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 -yYou can use winget via powershell winget install firefox
Or you use the Microsoft store to install another browser
You can install a browser with CLI
I'm super tired and thought for a millisecond that was going to say CLIPPY.
From shell
For example
Hopefully you'd be able to do so from the Microsoft store
