So, you used to have Windows 10 and you want to go back to it and you want to access your gmail account.
Is that what you tried to convey?

You could access gmail from any browser and you don't have to use Microsoft Edge.
You could Install Firefox, Chrome, or even using Internet Explorer.

I just want to be sure when I go back to blank w-10 that I won't
lose everything. I'm going to restore w-10 to out of the box.
It sounds like gmail will still be there and I don't have to do anything. I guess it's
a safe operation

I wouldn't assume it is safe, make a backup of data first, expect to lose everything.

Depending how you perform the out-of-the-box Windows 10 restore, it could keep files on your computer or it could wipe everything.
You won't delete anything on your Gmail, since is not located on your computer...your Gmail messages are located on Google servers.

The biggest concern in my mind is that the restore fails, and leaves you with a completely borked system.
