Go to search (Cortana) field and type iexplorer.exe
It will run Internet Explorer.
You can pin it to taskbar then.

Go to control panel > programs and features > Windows features > check the tick of Internet Explorer, OK, and Restart.

No available as an option.  Is it possible to uninstall and reinstall edge.  This may be the only way to get explorer as an option

Thanks guys for your help.  It looks like a repair install should do the trick

Edge is now better than Chrome but Chrome is OK
