Per the page at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/ - "The Microsoft Edge team no longer offers VM image downloads for the testing of Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer." The page additionally suggests using an in-browser development environment for testing Edge/IE functionality, which doesn't accomplish FLARE-VM's mission. These virtual machines were copied to and backed up at the following Internet Archive link: https://archive.org/details/modern.ie-vm - the only "development" VMs currently available via Microsoft's official site are Windows 11.
