Microsoft has revealed its intention to integrate the AI chatbot “Copilot” into all its products and services.
While initially introduced in Windows 11, Copilot has now been extended to Windows 10, and Microsoft aims for widespread adoption among all Windows users.
For those using Windows 10 Home or Pro and affiliated with the Release Preview channel on Microsoft’s website, the opportunity to test Copilot is currently available. It’s anticipated that this new feature will roll out to all Windows 10 users in the supported markets in just a matter of days or weeks.
In a recent announcement, Microsoft stated that it is “reassessing” its strategy concerning the Windows 10 operating system, emphasizing additional investments and potential integration of more AI features in the future. However, the company clarified that there won’t be any major updates to the Windows 10 operating system.
During a press conference with The Verge, Aaron Woodman, Vice President of Windows Marketing, affirmed Microsoft’s decision not to continue support for Windows 10, asserting, “We will not make any changes to the company’s support end date for the Windows 10 operating system, which concludes on October 14, 2025.”
The integration of Copilot into the Windows 10 operating system aligns with its enduring popularity.
A recent report, drawing on internal Microsoft data, disclosed that two years after its launch, the Windows 11 operating system had reached only 400 million devices. In contrast, Windows 10 achieved this milestone within a year of its release and attained 600 million devices just a few months after its second anniversary.
In Windows 11, Copilot enjoys a more profound integration into the operating system, seamlessly entering most applications. Meanwhile, the Windows 10 version primarily serves as a Bing Chat site accessible through the Edge browser, lacking the capability to open applications, adjust settings, or perform tasks inherent to the original Windows 10 operating system applications.
