While a Windows 11 system initially has Microsoft Edge pre-set as its default browser, you may switch to another browser such as Google Chrome anytime later. After installing Chrome for the first time orupdating to a newer version, it automatically prompts you to set it as your default browser upon the initial relaunch.
