PDFs Showing as Microsoft Edge Instead of Adobe

Question

Hi. I just bought a new laptop and had everything transferred from my old laptop to my new one. And upgraded from Microsoft 11 to 365 Personal. I haven't worked on any PDFs till now but I notice they're all showing as Microsoft Edge instead of Adobe. Why would this be happening?

@Brian32867296ukwf Likely Edge has a built-in PDF reader, and it is using it's propertirty software to show as Edge. You can change the settings. Right-click on the PDF file. A menu will pop up. Look for an option that says "Open with" (it might be nested in a submenu). A list of programs will appear. Select "Adobe Acrobat Reader" (or whatever the name of your Adobe PDF program is). If you don't see it, there might be an option like "Choose another app" or "Browse" - click that and find your Adobe program.
