Bing Maps Compatibility Checker


What's this for?

Microsoft recently announced they'll no longer support Bing Maps in any version of Internet Explorer except the latest version, Internet Explorer 11.  This page lets you know which version of Internet Explorer you're running and whether or not your current operating system supports installing Internet Explorer 11.

What do I do?

Review the results below.  You'll receive a green thumbs up if you're running a modern version of Windows and Internet Explorer 11 is installed.  If the version of Windows or the version of Internet Explorer installed on your machine isn't compatible, you'll receive a red thumbs down and additional instructions are displayed below the results.

This compatibility check must be ran from within Internet Explorer on a computer running Windows.
