First of all I am still an AOL user from the dinosaur age and for the life of me can't find the house that sat next to the mail icon to return home. Don't like the convoluted way I have to get to my favorites. And the worst part on TOTV and several other sites the back button does not work. So my advice is don't upgrade and could someone please tell me how to get my 8.1 back.
I am having problem getting use to 10 but since it will be supported for a number of years I think it is best to switch.

The HOME icon is hidden. To get it back: Click the ... dots in the upper right corner. Select settings at the bottom of the menu. Scroll down the page and you will see advanced setting. Click it and the first menu item lets you add the home icon. In the box below you put the address of what ever you want to open. You can use copy and past functions to add.

Note when you open the ... menu the 8th item is to open with internet explorer. I have not tried this but you might want too.
