This tutorial will show you how to change the URL address of a favorite in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

You can keep track of the websites you visit frequently by adding them as favorites in Microsoft Edge. You can organize these favorites into folders how you like.

Occasionally, you may need or want to change the URL address of an existing favorite to update it.

If you are signed in to Microsoft Edge with your Microsoft account and turned on sync favorites, then any favorite you change the URL for will automatically sync and get changed on all devices you sign in to Microsoft Edge with the same Microsoft account with sync favorites turned on.
