Internet Explorer 9 and lower : You could use conditional comments to load an IE-specific stylesheet for any version (or combination of versions) that you wanted to specifically target.like below using external stylesheet.
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="all-ie-only.css" />
<![endif]-->
However, beginning in version 10, conditional comments are no longer supported in IE.
Internet Explorer 10 & 11 : Create a media query using -ms-high-contrast, in which you place your IE 10 and 11-specific CSS styles. Because -ms-high-contrast is Microsoft-specific (and only available in IE 10+), it will only be parsed in Internet Explorer 10 and greater.
@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none), (-ms-high-contrast: active) {
/* IE10+ CSS styles go here */
}
Microsoft Edge 12 : Can use the @supports rule Here is a link with all the info about this rule
@supports (-ms-accelerator:true) {
/* IE Edge 12+ CSS styles go here */
}
Inline rule IE8 detection
I have 1 more option but it is only detect IE8 and below version.
/* For IE css hack */
margin-top: 10px\9 /* apply to all ie from 8 and below */
*margin-top:10px; /* apply to ie 7 and below */
_margin-top:10px; /* apply to ie 6 and below */
As you specefied for embeded stylesheet. I think you need to use media query and condition comment for below version.
