In the new Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge, you can change the home page and the startup page. However, the Microsoft Edge home page is only opened when you click or tap the Home button, which you first need to enable on your toolbar. As indicated by its name, the startup page loads every time you open the Edge browser. Better yet, you can add several startup pages, and they all become available when you launch the app. Read this guide to find out how to change the Microsoft Edge home page and set one or more startup pages for easy access to your favorite websites:

How to set a homepage on Microsoft Edge
There’s no point in showing you how to set a homepage in Edge without explaining how to display the Edge Home button. Luckily, both options are available in the same location. First, start Microsoft Edge, click or tap on “Settings and more” (...) from the top-right corner, and access Settings from the menu that opens.
Click or tap on Settings
In the left sidebar, access the Appearance tab - if you can’t see the panel, maximize the Microsoft Edge window or press on the top-left hamburger button, next to Settings. The options you’re looking for are displayed on the right, in the Customize toolbar section. First, click or tap on the “Show home button” setting to activate the switch next to it. The Home button is immediately displayed in the top toolbar, to the left of the address bar. As you can see below, its icon looks like a house.
Enabling the Home button in Microsoft Edge
The default homepage for Microsoft Edge is the “New tab page,” which means that pressing the Home button opens a new tab.
To change the Microsoft Edge home page to your favorite website or webpage, first select the Enter URL option displayed under “Show home button.”
Select the Enter URL option
Next, in the Enter URL field, insert the address of the website you want to set as your homepage in Edge, and then click or tap on Save.

Clicking or tapping the Edge Home button takes you to the website you entered. You can hide this button for more room on your toolbar and still access your home page with the keyboard shortcut Alt + Home.

How to set the Edge start page(s) displayed when you launch the app
