Enterprise mode is a new feature of Internet Explorer that allows companies to use old web applications even in modern versions of IE. This feature is designed to help companies and users who still need Internet Explorer 7 and 8 and who cannot or do not want to upgrade to a more advanced version such as Internet Explorer 11.
Enterprise mode in Internet Explorer 11 extends compatibility for sites and apps designed for Internet Explorer 8.

This works with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 .
