How to Download and Install Internet Explorer for MAC OS

Internet Explorer is the browser of Microsoft and the latest version of this browser is I.E. 11. You have no need to run a Virtual Machine or have access to a Windows computer to run Internet Explorer on your Mac computer which is not just useful for web developers but also essential to access some websites. The Internet Explorer is usually used by Windows users, but can be installed and run on Mac OS X also via a free service named Modern IE from Microsoft. Modern IE depends on a Remote Desktop to access Internet Explorer from Windows at the top of Mac OS X.

There are various commands for each version of Internet Explorer, but for a common user it could be very complicated.
