Internal links do not work in Preview, unless you have set the Preview Scope to Entire Web Site!
If you only preview a single page, your browser will not be able to find all the other (internal) pages unless you also generate them!
You cannot preview pages with PHP in your browser. They can only be viewed on a webserver with PHP support!

You can change the default web browser in the Windows Control Panel!
