Internet Explorer - blimey! Does it still exist?

Chrome - r-click on bookmarks bar, choose bookmark manager - click the 3 dots on top bar right - choose 'export bookmarks'. Use a usb stick? Then import to app on new drive.

Yes. But not for much longer. Which is a shame because a small number of Microsoft products only work properly on it......

Anyway, in IE, click the star in the top right. In the drop down that says "add to favourites" select "import and export". From there it's pretty obvious to export favourites to a file. This gives you a .htm file that you can move to your new machine (it's tiny so if all else fails email it to yourself).

Then click this link

chrome://settings/importData

which should open in Chrome (if not then copy / paste), select Bookmarks HTML file from the dropdown and follow the prompts. It's a similar process to import to Edge and (unpopular opinion) I prefer Edge to Chrome on a Win10 box.
