If you're fairly new to Microsoft Edge you may have just realized that, by default, it does not display a Home button. Evidently during Microsoft's field-testing there were many who considered having a Home button a waste of real estate. Fortunately, there is a simple way to display the Home button if you so choose.
Click on the Settings and More ellipsis at the top right corner of the browser. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1. The Settings and More ellipsis.
Edge displays a drop-down a menu on which you should click Settings. (It is at the bottom of the menu.) In the resulting window, click the Menu button (three horizontal bars to the right of Settings in the top left corner of the window). Click the Appearance link from the resulting menu options. (See Figure 2.)

Near the middle of the window is a slider that indicates whether you want the Home button on or off. Assuming it's off, click the slider, and it will toggle to be on.
You can indicate what will be displayed when you click the Home button. Set this as you wish so that when you click the Home button within Edge, you'll either see a New Tab page or a Custom page that you can specify by entering in the URL for the page in the text box. Windows immediately displays the Home button at the top of the browser window. (See Figure 3.)
