I think you should you the solution in the link above (force a web link to open in Chrome instead of IE). 
 
You cannot (to the very best of my knowledge) make a Chrome tab open in IE. &nbsp;I have not seen such and some review now comes up empty.

Here is a JS script that you can use to detect IE. Instead of displaying information, you can either redirect to fill the screen with a message that IE is not supported, perhaps via a modal.

} else if (version &gt;= 12) {
 document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = 'Edge ' + version;
} else {
 document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = 'IE ' + version;

// add details to debug result
document.getElementById('details').innerHTML = window.navigator.userAgent;

My client about to roll out a new cloud based Event Reporting system. 
Unfortunately due to compatibility issues they are unable to access this via Internet Explorer, which is there default browser. Instead, users will be required to use either Chrome, Firefox or Edge. 
 
We would like to investigate the below option of formatting a link in IE so that it opens up a Chrome browser. This would enable users to continue using our default browser whilst still being able to access this new system. 
 
Any advise on how achive this?

Set Website link to open in chrome

Chrome is a free web browser created by Google. Originally released in 2008, it has grown to become the most used desktop web browser (as of October 2016).

Chrome

Internet Explorer is a series of graphical web browsers first developed by Microsoft Corporation in 1995. It is included in the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems. It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95.

Internet Explorer (IE)

Mozilla Firefox is a free and open-source web browser developed by Mozilla Foundation. It is available for use on Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD operating systems.

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
