So with the new Microsoft Web Browser "Edge", if you reinstall Windows, all is lost with Microsoft Edge that has to do with your Favorites/ Bookmarks because Edge is built into Windows.
So are all your Favorites/Bookmarks lost or not? Well, the answer is the same every time you talk about anything that has to do with a computer and that is not if you back it up. In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a backup of all your Favorites/Bookmarks so when you do a fresh install of windows you will be able to retrieve each and every Favorite/Bookmark that you have saved in the Edge Browser.
Now with other Browsers, this is not the case because the browser is separate from the operating system and when you reinstall the browser it remembers all your Favorites/Bookmarks
Start by opening up File Explorer and in the address bar type this command %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default and push enter.
Copy the Datastore folder and paste it, in the place you keep all your backups like a USB drive.
That's it the next time you do a fresh install of windows all your Favorites/Bookmarks from the Edge Browser will be backed up.
