I have Win 7 and found out that Edge works nicer (for some web coding) that IE did(does).

(Not sure, but if I think if you update IE, you get Edge?)

I don't use it, I use Firefox, but I check my website coding with Chrome and Edge.

I don't understand web coding.
Is it something specific I need?

What's IE, oh internet explorer.
I use firefox, IE, and chrome

NO, don't even think about it. Edge is an attempt by Microsoft to lock you into their Bing search engine, Edge is almost impossible to navigate through, not by accident.. If I could figure out how to do it I would delete Edge from my system and use IE or Chrome with DuckDuckGo as my search engine.

Does Edge replace IE?

I'm with you-I have no idea what it is or what it's for. Might be something good to know.

No, you don't need to worry about web coding, only people who create websites/pages need to worry about it.
(If they want to.)

No, the browser is responsible for rendering and displaying someone's web code to create the page you see on your computer. It's an application like photoshop elements.

Ouch!! I can't stand Bing. It is the most annoying thing I have ever come across. Am I alone?

You can have both on the computer... You chose which one you want to use

I use Edge, changed from Firefox. My searches go to Google. Works on all sites so far. I don't do much on the net though.
