2. First, open the Control Panel by clicking on the Start menu and selecting Control Panel from the list of options. Depending on your version of Windows, you may need to type in “Control Panel” in the search bar.
3. Once the Control Panel is open, select “Programs” from the list of preferences.
4. Then, find “Default Programs” and click on it. On some versions of Windows, this will appear as “Set Programs and Defaults.”
5. Under the heading “Choose a Default Web Browser” you will be able to choose the desired browser.
6. If the desired browser is not listed, click on “Other Programs” and select the browser from the list.
7. Once the browser is chosen, click “OK” to save the changes.
8. In some cases, the browser may prompt you to make it the default browser. In this case, simply click “Yes.”
9. Lastly, close the Control Panel window and you’re done.
10. The selected browser is now the default for your computer. All future web pages will automatically open in your preferred browser.
