I have a few PDF files in my downloads and double-clicking does nothing on my work laptop where I can’t install anything. How am I supposed to open them?

Right-click the file, choose “Open with,” then pick Edge or Chrome since both can display PDFs without installing anything. You can also drag the PDF into an open browser tab. If neither works, your company may have downloads or file associations blocked, so ask IT to check it. I hit that once on a dispatch laptop and Edge was the quickest fix.

Classic locked-down laptop move, no default viewer set so double click just shrugs at you. Right click the file, hit Open with, and pick Edge or Chrome, they read PDFs fine wihtout installing anything. Or just drag the file into an open browser tab. Did that work, or is the browser locked down too?
