Windows uses Edge IIRC, and it does pretty well.

It does a decent job for heavily text based pdfs like legal forms or manuals and even lets you annotate the document with a pen or highlighter but it chokes on more image based pdfs like slide decks or schematics.

Old Edge was a great PDF reader and EPUB viewer. New edge... well it's just the same as Chrome, which is to say that it's fine.
