My corporate web application is using Java applet to access users file system. There is no way for us to replace it with anything else for now.
How do I enable Java in Microsoft Edge?

You cannot open Java Applets (nor any other NPAPI plugin) in Microsoft Edge - they aren't supported and won't be added in the future.
Further you should be aware that in the next release of Google Chrome (v45 - due September 2015) NPAPI plugins will also no longer be supported.
There are a couple of things that you can do:
Use Internet Explorer 11
You will find that in Windows 10 you will already have Internet Explorer 11 installed. IE 11 continues to support NPAPI (incl Java Applets).
IE11 is squirrelled away (c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe). Just pin this exe to your task bar for easy access.
Use FireFox
You can also install and use a Firefox 32-bit Extended Support Release in Win10. Firefox have disabled NPAPI by default, but this can be overridden. This will only be supported until early 2018.
About this, java declares that on Windows 10, Edge browser does not support plugins, so it will NOT run java. (see https://www.java.com/it/download/win10.jsp --> only visible with edge in win10) It also reports a notice: java is not officially supported yet in Windows 10. (see https://www.java.com/it/download/faq/win10_faq.xml)
IE11 do accept Java according to the link below : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/install-java#ie=ie-11
And firefox also intended to remove NPAPI by the end of 2016 according to : https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2015/10/08/npapi-plugins-in-firefox/
Edge has dropped all support for plugins. This means that Java, ActiveX, Silverlight, and other plugins are no longer supported. For this reason Microsoft has included Internet Explorer 11, which does support these plugins, with non-mobile versions of Windows 10. If you are running Windows 10 and need plugin support Edge is not an option, but IE 11 is.
