Microsoft is expanding its Copilot feature, previously exclusive to Windows 11, to Windows 10 users. Windows 10 users in the Release Preview channel now have access to Copilot, an AI-powered chatbot that generates text and answers queries. Similar to its Windows 11 counterpart, Copilot in Windows 10 is accessible through a button on the right side of the taskbar. While there are some feature differences due to variations in Windows 10 and 11 capabilities, the core functionality remains consistent.
This move is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to revisit and invest in Windows 10, signaling a departure from the initial plan to phase out the operating system in the coming years. Microsoft aims to bring additional AI features to Windows 10, recognizing its continued popularity compared to Windows 11. Despite the introduction of Windows 11, Windows 10 remains widely used, prompting Microsoft to enhance its capabilities and integrate features like Copilot.
Microsoft clarified that Windows 10 users can expect improvements and new features through incremental updates, but there won't be any major overhauls. The company emphasized that Windows 10's support end date remains October 14, 2025. By introducing Copilot to Windows 10, Microsoft aims to enhance the user experience and ensure that users of both operating systems can benefit from AI-driven features. The deployment is gradual, starting with users in the Release Preview channel before reaching a broader Windows 10 audience.
