Working with Both Experiences
The modern-style experience is the default Internet Explorer 10 experience in Windows 8, so any time a browser is needed by the operating system, a Windows Store app, or a desktop application, the modern experience is invoked. There may be times when you want to work with Internet Explorer for the desktop instead. For example, with the modern experience, you can open a maximum of 10 tabs at one time. If you typically browse with more than 10 tabs open, you may want to use Internet Explorer for the desktop instead.
Switch to Internet Explorer 10 for the Desktop
-
Click the Page Tools button in the navigation bar.
Tap or click View on the desktop.
Internet Explorer for the desktop is displayed.
Important
<> strongly recommends that you make Internet Explorer 10 your default browser. When you set Internet Explorer 10 as the default browser, both modern and desktop experiences are available. If you set a different browser as your device’s default browser, the modern experience will be unavailable. Starting Internet Explorer, even from a tile, will launch Internet Explorer for the desktop.

You can configure Internet Explorer 10 to always open in the modern experience (default) or in Internet Explorer for the desktop.

In Internet Explorer 10, tap or click the Page Tools button in the navigation bar, and then tap or click View on the desktop.

Under Opening Internet Explorer:
To make Internet Explorer 10 (modern experience) the default, tap or click Always in Internet Explorer.

If you want the Internet Explorer tile on the Start screen (and any pinned apps) to open Internet Explorer for the desktop, select the Open Internet Explorer tiles on the desktop check box.
Tap or click OK.

If Internet Explorer 10 is not set as your default browser, the Choose how you open links option is disabled; you cannot change the launch settings.
