UPDATE:
I forgot to mention I figured out how to get all three Windows browsers to
work on Windows 10 concurrently.
See this response just now, for example, on this thread:

Check in c:\app\web\
All ur browsers be in there. same sence xp.
Holy cow! I don't know you, but you clearly know me well!
o My menus from Windows 95 to XP to Win7, Vista, & Win10 are the same!
Exact same files, in fact; simply zipped up to port to _all_ my PCs!
o They have only improved slightly, over the decades, with new software.
Even iOS/Android devices use, essentially, the same functional hierarchy
o What we do on a computer doesn't change, essentially, between machines.
We edit, we browse, we archive, we network, we telecommunicate, etc.
o The fact you know that fact, means, you know me well: You are good!
What we do is the same functional menu hierarchy on all desktop machines!

You're actually damn good because one in a million can do what you said!

1. Here is my screenshot of C:\app\ where browser is next, as you knew:

2. Below that, are the "types" of browsers, one of which is http

3. Inside of http shows four fundamental browser code bases:
(chromium based, mozilla based, independents, & microsoft based)

4. Inside the Microsoft code base are the three MS Windows 10 browsers:
(internet explorer, old legacy Edge UWB classic, new Edge Chrome)
o https://i.postimg.cc/4y3RGhTj/browser04.jpg
Looking at the M$ *.lnk shortcuts, these are the TARGETS to each:
a. Internet Explorer
TARGET: "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
b. Old legacy Edge UWB classic
TARGET: %windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8 bbwe!MicrosoftEdge
c. New Edge Chrome
TARGET: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"
Entering those commands into the Win+R Run box brings up each browser:
a. InternetExplorer: Gear icon About Internet Explorer
Version 11.959.18362.0 (Update version 11.0.200)
b. Edge UWB: Elipses Settings General About this app
Version Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0
Version Microsoft EdgeHTML 18.18363
c. Edge Chrome: Elipses Settings About Microsoft Edge
Version 84.0.522.50 (Official build) (64-bit)
As you noted, all three browsers work just fine concurrently in Win10!
