Our team don't like using IE or Edge either but we have no choice once we are using QB Desktop. On Win 8.1, MSFT has replaced IE on the screen with Edge but they are not disable it on system. You have to check your system to make sure it is enabled. In our experience during this year, we didn't find any issue when installing QBD 2020 on any pre-loaded Win 10 system even on Win 10 Home edition.
