microsoft edge: Moving from Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge: What data you can import and how

Moving from browsers is not that tough. But yes, it does depend on what all you use in your browser. Microsoft Edge too allows users to import almost all of their data from Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The prime condition is that you have to make Microsoft Edge your default browser. Also, there are few things that you need to remember while importing your Chrome browser data into Microsoft Edge.
When you first run the new Microsoft Edge, you have the option of importing browser data from your primary browser. Microsoft edge uses internet data usage to detect the primary browser. It determines that any browser whose internet data usage is at 90% or higher is the primary browser. Otherwise, it assumes legacy Microsoft Edge to be the primary browser.
If Google Chrome is detected as your primary browser, Microsoft Edge presents you with the option to import data from Google Chrome and asks for your explicit consent to the data being imported.
How to choose the data types you want to import
To review the data types, you can import from Google Chrome, go to Settings and more > Settings > Profiles > Import browser data (edge://settings/importData).
What all data is imported from Google Chrome
* Favorites or bookmarks: Select this option to import bookmarks in the Bookmarks bar in Google Chrome, to the Favorites bar in Microsoft Edge. Bookmarks in the Other bookmarks folder will be imported to the Other favorites folder in Microsoft Edge.
What to remember: Duplicate folders on the same path are merged. Duplicate files on the same path are skipped.
* Saved passwords: Select this option to import the online account credentials you’ve saved in Google Chrome to Microsoft Edge, so you can quickly and safely log into your online accounts.
What to remember: When Microsoft Edge imports passwords, it checks to see if you already have a password saved for the same website. If the saved password and the imported password don’t match, it overwrites the existing password with the one being imported.
* Addresses and more: Select this option to import address data, such as your shipping addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
What to remember: Microsoft Edge checks for similar entries and merges data where it can.
* Payment info: This imports your saved credit card information. Any combination of card number, cardholder name, and expiration date is a unique combination.
What to remember: If any duplicates are detected during import, they won’t be imported.
* Browsing history: As the top sites shown in the New tab page are generated based on your browsing history in Microsoft Edge, you may also see these top sites change based on the updated history data.
What to remember: All this data is saved locally on your PC/laptop.
* Open tabs: You can import your Pinned and open tabs from Google Chrome. Imported tabs are added to the current active window of Microsoft Edge.
What to remember: Google Chrome needs to be closed for this feature to work. To use the extensions installed from sources other than Microsoft Edge add-ons website, you must turn on Allow extensions from other stores.
* Extensions: Users can import Chrome store extensions into Microsoft Edge. You can see your imported extensions at edge://extensions.
What to remember: Extensions installed from Chrome web Store will be disabled after import.
* Shortcuts: The imported shortcuts are added to the Top sites on the New tab page.
What to remember: Microsoft Edge will only import the first eight shortcuts from Google Chrome.
