  1. After the file finishes downloading, unzip the file for your operating system to a location you can remember. The file should be named MSEdge.Win10.RS2.VirtualBox.zip

    • NOTE: Downloads folder is commin, but you may want to use this again and store somewhere more permanent since Downloads get deleted often. Also these images expire after 90 days, so if you keep this file you can install a new version repeatedly.
  2. After extracting the .zip file you should have a file named MSEdge - Win10_preview.ova. This is a VirtualBox virtual machine snapshot, meaning you don't have to install the OS from scratch.
