I install this windows 8 beta version on last week and now I want to use internet explorer 9 web browsers onto it. But the problem is that there is default internet explorer 10 version available onto it. I don’t want to use this version as a web browser. Hence please help me to change default browser mode. Any guidance will be helpful.

You can do this task in simple way and I hope that the beta version works well to do this task. the process is as on your Internet Explorer 10, go to Tools > F12 developer tools, click browser mode: Internet Explorer 10. Do this and check what happen onto it.

Some websites are not compatible with IE10 that way most of the web browser user wants to use Internet Explorer 9 onto their windows system. For doing this task you need to follow the below process:

1. Go to Internet Options by hitting Start -> Control Panel -> Network -> Internet option.
2. Then hit the Programs tab and select Make default button of the Internet Explorer option.
3. Finally choose OK button, and exit Internet Explorer.
4. This process work to fix your issue.

If you don't do this simple task on your windows 8 beta version laptop, you can download and install internet explorer 9 web browser from the Internet Explorer website. Then try this simple process on this system and hope that this time it works to fix such issue.

You realize this is pre-beta software that barely functions as intended. Hence we can’t surely say that the above mentioned process has been work on this beta version. Sometimes it quit possible that this process goes failure or it wouldn’t go in right direction. The reason is simple. This window 8 is an beta version means pre launched version of the windows 8. Manufacturer of this Windows 8 launch this OS due to checking some ongoing bugs of the system. They also like to cache kinds of reply come from the user. Hence there is no surety that this solution always works.
