The company has taken this step just after a month it made the browser available for download on all supported Windows and macOS versions. The new update will switch to the Chromium engine by replacing the existing EdgeHTML browser engine.

Back in January, Microsoft confirmed this would happen in a statement:

If you’d prefer not to install Microsoft Edge manually, you can wait for it to be installed in a future update to Windows 10, following our measured rollout approach over the next several months.We will start to migrate Windows 10 customers to the new Microsoft Edge in the coming weeks, starting with a subset of Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring.

Heads-up #WindowsInsiders, we have begun rolling out the new #MicrosoftEdge to the Release Preview ring. See this blog post from @kylealden with more info on Windows Update rollout plans: https://t.co/lLOKhUtnPE
