Microsoft Edge supports using more than one profile. You can create one profile for work and another profile for personal needs.

Edge supports automatic profile switching too so that when it finds a link is a personal or work link, it asks you to switch to the respective profile

For that visit, Settings >Profiles < Profile preferences,

For Default profile for external links, choose a profile displayed other than last used.
