Have you tried the compatibility modes?
Press F12 and look around.

To the best of my memory Windows 7 will not allow that to happen.
Hang in there another member might have a trick.
I.E. 9 is very unsafe to use.

Press F12 go emulation set document mode to IE9 and user agent string to IE9?

Change whatever works for you. It won't be perfect, but it might work.

I would have given you more details, but I don't have IE11 on the computer that I'm on :-(

Developer tools has to remain open or the change will revert back to Edge mode,
Cheers.

That it will not do.

IE11 should be in your list of installed windows updates, just un install it.

Windows 7 comes with IE8, you can not have it go to IE7.

Your system specs are not complete. You have not told us how much RAM your computer has.

Since you have Windows 7 pro, use this...

Windows XP Mode - Install and Setup

...and you will also have XP and IE6 or IE7 or IE8 running inside of a window for free.

My personal preference is to setup the XP Mode like you like it and then freeze it. Freezing means that when you exit the Virtual Machine (VM), all changes to the VM are dropped. Any infection that gets into the VM will go away when you exit the VM. I would also remove the connection to the host computer. In other words, I would not let the XP OS get to the hard drive of the host computer..... but that's just me.

If you`re not happy with any version of Explorer, just install and use Chrome or any other browser you like. I rarely use IE myself.

There are times when you just have to have older versions of IE:

Makes ya cringe - don't it?

instead of sticking with IE11, you should just roll back to IE10, it is fast, safe and secure IE9 is not as secure as IE10 and you most certainly do not want to go back to IE8 as it is much worse than IE9

Has this wish been completed?

I using IBM Websphere software, only IE6 and IE9 support for browser.

So - you could have IE11 on the laptop for day to day usage...
...and IE6 inside a frozen XP Mode VM that is isolated from the host.

You will just have to try it to see if it is fast enough for you.
