 ## Microsoft Edge
 
-For Windows 10 users, Microsoft Edge (`eel.start(.., mode='edge')`) is installed by default and a useful fallback if a preferred browser is not installed. See the examples:
+Generally, Microsoft Edge can be installed on both Windows and Linux. However, for users of Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft Edge (`eel.start(.., mode='edge')`) is installed by default, making it a useful fallback if an otherwise preferred browser is not installed. See these examples:
