| About |  |
Internet Explorer 11 is the latest version of Internet Explorer. It was released in October 2013 and shipped alongside Windows 8.1. An update was later made available for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. An official build of Internet Explorer 11 is not available for Windows 8 as it was Microsoft's intention to promote the Windows 8.1 upgrade. However, Microsoft intends to bring Internet Explorer 11 to Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8 Embedded in the spring of 2019 via Windows Update as a regular Desktop application without the Metro interface[1]. Internet Explorer 11 is also part of Windows 10, however, it is not set as the default browser to promote the Microsoft Edge browser.
