If you have some time between two cocktails while celebrating, do your visitors a favour and add this meta tag to your <head>:

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/ie_standards/ms-i...

This will make IE very insisting to upgrade to Edge if possible.

That's not what that is. "Edge" there doesn't mean Edge the browser, it means "latest"; it predates the Edge browser by many years. It has nothing to do with the Edge upgrade. It switches IE into the latest document mode that it supports. For IE11, it just puts it into IE11 mode.
