Windows 10 users can now test Microsoft's AI-powered Copilot feature
Windows 10 users can now test the AI-powered Copilot feature from Microsoft, which was previously exclusive to Windows 11. To access this feature, users must install a Release Preview build that includes access to the AI-powered Copilot. This feature is available only to eligible devices.
To install the preview build and try Copilot on Windows 10 Home or Pro, users must enroll in the Windows Insider tester program. According to the company, even if you have the "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" toggle on, your device might take some time to be confirmed as eligible for Copilot on Windows, so it may not show up immediately. To run Copilot, your system must have at least 4GB of RAM and a display adapter that supports a resolution of at least 720p.
Microsoft also mentioned that the preview of the chatbot is only available in select markets, i.e. North America and some areas of Asia and South America, for now, meaning users may be locked out on a geographical basis. "The Copilot in Windows button will appear on the right side of the taskbar in Windows 10. When you select it, Copilot in Windows appears at the right of your screen. The company explained that it will not overlap with desktop content or block open app windows".
Microsoft has made several changes to its operating system (OS) in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Economic Area (EEA). These changes now allow users to choose between providers and uninstall most in-box apps. As per Windows Central's report, the modifications also include the option to uninstall the Microsoft Edge web browser and remove Bing Search from the Windows Search pane.
