Overview

  • Microsoft is backporting its AI-powered Copilot chatbot to Windows 10, despite initial plans to make it exclusive to Windows 11.
  • The Copilot feature will be available in a preview version for Windows 10 Home and Pro, version 22H2, but not for Enterprise and Education editions or managed PCs.
  • Microsoft's decision to extend Copilot to Windows 10 is seen as a response to the operating system's continued popularity, with Windows 10 accounting for over two-thirds of active Windows installs.
  • Copilot on Windows 10 will require a PC with 4GB of RAM and at least a 720p display to run, and will be rolled out to North American users and those in parts of Asia and South America first.
  • Despite this update, Windows 10's end-of-support date in October 2025 remains unchanged.
