Import a user's favorites to another account

One of the very useful features that Microsoft Edge has is the ability to create multiple user accounts. In this simple way, each account will have its personal settings, bookmarks, extensions, etc. However, sometimes a user profile can become corrupted, the easiest thing to do is to create a new one. But what do we do with all the websites we mark as favorites? It's very simple, for this we are going to import bookmarks from one account to another in Edge ..

Before importing all the bookmarks, we recommend doing some sort of cleanup by deleting duplicate favorites in Microsoft Edge. It is ideal for keeping everything more organized and being able to access the content we like the most in an agile and simple way.

Import bookmarks from one account to another in Microsoft Edge

The easiest and fastest method to copy bookmarks from one profile to another is using the import data function. The first thing we will have to do is export the bookmarks of our existing user profile in HTML format. For this we will do the following:

Export bookmarks or favorites in Microsoft Edge

  • We start Microsoft Edge.
  • We click on Settings and more.

  • Let's Manage Favorites.
  • In this section we are going to click on More actions.
  • We will choose the option that says Export favorites.
  • We will have to choose the location where we want to save the HTML file.
