Final answer:
To set compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge, enable the option to reload sites in Internet Explorer mode in the browser's settings and then select 'Reload in Internet Explorer mode' from the More tools menu for the website you wish to view in compatibility mode.
Step-by-step explanation:
To set the compatibility mode in Microsoft Edge, you will have to use the built-in Internet Explorer mode (IE mode). Please follow these steps:
- Open Microsoft Edge and click on the three dots in the top right corner to open the settings menu.
- Select 'Settings' and then navigate to the 'Default browser' section.
- You'll find an option labeled 'Allow sites to be reloaded in Internet Explorer mode', which you should turn on.
- To open a website in IE mode, click on the three dots in the top right corner when you're on the desired page, select 'More tools', and then choose 'Reload in Internet Explorer mode'.
Note that not all features may work perfectly in IE mode, as it’s primarily intended for legacy websites that may not function correctly in modern browsers.
If you need to use compatibility mode frequently, you can add specific sites to a list that will always open in IE mode through the Edge Settings menu. This list can be managed by going to 'Settings', 'Default browser', and under the 'Internet Explorer compatibility' section, click on 'IE mode pages'.
