Windows 10 dial-up connection

K

My parents, ages 81 and 77, purchased a new computer. The default web browser is Microsoft Edge. On their previous computer, which had Windows XP installed, they had a fairly simple process to connect to the internet.

  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Select "dial" when prompt appears to connect via "dial-up connection"

The new computer forces them to:

  • Open Internet Explorer
  • Open network connections
  • Select "dial-up connection"
  • Select "dial"
  • After connected, close "dial-up connection"

Microsoft Edge isn't any friendlier in regards to this either.


Living in a very rural area, they have no access to high speed or wireless internet. They are limited to 28.8k speeds over the existing phone lines. How do I set Internet Explorer to prompt for the "dial-up" connection. Or how do I configure Microsoft Edge to do this? Is there a patch or upgrade I can download at home, take to their computer and install? We tried settings and troubleshooting apps. I couldn't find a valid answer while searching the web.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kenny
