If you need to test Internet Explorer, it's often easier to use a VM on your Mac rather than using the test laptops. 

Step-by-step guide

  1. Download Virtual Box - https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
  2. Download the IE VM's - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

Set up VM

  1. Extract the download and open the .ovf file

Once the VM has booted, you will need to update the host file

  1. Open Notepad (run as administrator)
  2. Open the host file → c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
  3. Using NAT Network setting (default setting): Add 10.0.2.2 localhost (when using NAT network)
  4. Using Bridged Network setting: Add 192.168.0.* (mac ip address) localhost
  5. Restart the VM
  6. Open browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080
