How to automatically switch profiles on Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge can automatically switch profiles
In Microsoft Edge, the ability to create multiple profiles is a handy feature when you want to use different accounts and need to keep your history, favorites, passwords and other things separate from personal and public accounts. whether you use a Microsoft account, a job, or a school.
However, because switching profiles requires additional and confusing steps, Microsoft Edge provides automatic profile conversion, which detects and prompts you to switch to the appropriate profile when a link is detected. The result is personal or professional. Additionally, the Chromium version of the browser has the option to set a default profile for external links, such as links from email or other applications.
In this tutorial, you'll learn the steps to automatically switch profiles and set default profiles for external links on Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.
