Microsoft on Monday released another build of Windows 10, the first with the Edge browser branding.

With build 10158, Microsoft marked the one-month countdown to the final code launch on July 29.

Prominent in 10158 — which was issued only to testers on the “Fast” ring of Windows Insider — is Microsoft Edge, the OS’s new browser. “The Microsoft Edge branding is now included,” wrote Gabriel Aul, engineering general manager for Microsoft’s operating system group, on a Monday blog.

Microsoft introduced the Edge nameplate in April after referring to the browser for several months by its code name, Project Spartan. Edge is the successor to Internet Explorer (IE), particularly IE11, and will be the default browser in Windows 10 on all devices, from PCs to smartphones. IE11, however, will continue to be packaged with the new OS on desktops, notebooks, 2-in-1s and larger tablets to provide legacy support for enterprises that run line-of-business Web apps and sites requiring the older browser.
