Script to import IE favorites into Edge

Is there something available to programmatically import IE's Favorites into the new Edge?
Hi Grayfolded,

My name is Lee. What I will do in this situation is manual import from new Edge.

• Open new Edge
• Click the 3 dots on the upper right
• Select Favorites
• Select Import
• From the drop down box, choose Microsoft Internet Explorer (see screenshot)
• Check the box for Favorites or bookmarks
• Click Import

Now if you are looking for a more advance way like what is mentioned on your question "a script", do you mean a powershell script or a code for a specific programming language to do that?

If you are referring to a powershell script, this link might help: https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcen....

Looking for a powershell script.

Already looked at the link you provided, that is for Edge legacy

the screenshot is a giveaway and if you look at the code itself , it references 

$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites"

which is not Edge chromium

That's what I thought.

Hey, it would be best to post this question to sister forums: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/powershe.... This forum is more of a consumer forum and you will not get much IT Pro answer here about scripts.
