Login to Microsoft Edge Browser

Woodhouse Supports both Micrsoft Edge and Google's Chrome.  Edge is the preferred browser because of its integration with Microsoft 365.  Logging into Edge will allow your browser setting including favorites and stores passwords to be synchronized with your cloud OneDrive account.  In the event of a computer failure, all your setting are backed up and will be synchronized from the cloud to your new computer.  If you travel to a different computer and login to Edge your setting will travel with you.
