How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 11 Preview from Windows 7

Why Would I Try Internet Explorer 11 in the First Place?

 

Just like Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7, it doesn’t have the modern interface, but it does have the performance enhancements under the hood. According to Microsoft’s official Internet Explorer blog, IE 11 utilizes you CPU more efficiently for better performance and load time. It also includes support for the Waggle standard which allows developers to program cool 3D experiences by utilizing your computer’s graphics card. It also includes tight support for HTML5 so video content will look great and it will support closed captioning.

 

But of course, this “preview” is still a beta, and everything might not work on it the way you’d like, so it can easily be uninstalled. Web developers on the other hand, will most likely want to keep it so they can program awesome sites and web based apps for the rest of us!

 

Also, if you’re in IT, you might want to take a stab at this new version in your testing environment and see what works, or what proprietary enterprise software it may break.

Last we told you that the Internet Explorer 11 developer preview– currently included with Windows 8.1 preview – is now available for Windows 7. If you’ve installed it on Windows 7 to give it a test and aren’t happy with it, it’s easy to get rid of.
