Question

Is it possible to delete the IE10 in Windows 8 Pro?

Jul 2, 2013 11:45AM PDT

Hi There, I need you help big time!!!
Is it possible to delete IE10 in Windows 8 Pro?
I did try all the methods in the Internet that I can find to disable the IE10, (only disable the IE10 but not delete from the system), but it will not let me install IE9. I need the IE9 to work for the state reporting system. Thanks.

It will not work!

Thanks. Both Chrome and Firefox will not work with this State reporting system.
The compatibility view will not work with this.
So there is no way to delete the IE10 and reinstall IE9.. Sad

As to IE9, ask MSFT.

I'm sure you recall the past history of MSFT, the DOJ, the European Union and more. For this one my bet is the state will correct this soon. However.

Let's solve it. Install Virtual Box (see google) and then create a virtual machine for a Windows 7 (maybe Vista if you have it) in a virtual machine then you can run IE 9 there.

R.
You are 100% right on this, I can not tell my CEO that all the new windows 8 Pro laptops (1Cool we purchased can not access to State reporting system, we have to downgrade to windows 7.
This is what I did, we virtualed each laptop and install IE9 and it works.
Thanks.

Can you clarify what the difference is?

I didn't duplicate the old discussions about deletion of Internet Explorer in prior Windows. For now we have the uninstall noted.
And where would you get IE9 from anyhow?
