To the best of my knowledge the drag-&-drop method of putting shortcuts onto your desktop still works with Windows 10 and Edge:
Go to a site you want to bookmark. Resize the window for Edge (by clicking on the overlapping squares at the top right), so that you can now see a bit of the desktop as well. Drag the site's favicon (immediately to the left of the URL in Edge's address bar) onto the desktop. Job done.

A perfect description of the way Microsoft works! (If you think about it though, if you employ vast numbers of people on 'product development', they can't turn round and say "It's fine as it is, actually", otherwise they'd no longer have their jobs. So that have to keep mucking about with things just to stay in employment!)
You could always enable the favorites bar. (I've used the horrid US spelling there because that's what Microsoft insists upon calling bookmarks):
https:/
On almost any other browser, pressing Ctrl+Shift+B opens up a fresh window which displays the entire bookmarks library and allows it to be edited. It might be worth trying with Edge but I've a feeling that you might only find that it toggles the favorites toolbar on and off. (I can't try it myself because I'm using Windows 7 and I'd never go near a browser from Microsoft anyway).
Perhaps it's time to get yourself a decent browser which, in my opinion, excludes the totally appalling Internet Explorer and the marginally better Edge. Around two thirds of PC users have Chrome as their primary browser, with Firefox in second place. I can't get on with Chrome (so I use Firefox myself) but others seem to love it.
