Windows 10 Users Can Now Test Microsoft Copilot AI: Microsoft has expanded access to its AI-powered Copilot feature, previously exclusive to Windows 11, to Windows 10 users. To utilize this feature, users with compatible devices must install a Release Preview build that incorporates access to Copilot. Enrolling in the Windows Insider tester program is a prerequisite for installing the preview build and exploring Copilot on Windows 10 Home or Pro.
Microsoft Copilot AI – Eligibility Confirmation and System Requirements for Windows 10
The company notes that eligible device confirmation for Copilot may take time, even for users with the ‘Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available’ toggle enabled. System requirements for running Copilot include a minimum of 4GB of RAM and a display adapter supporting at least 720p resolution.
Geographical Availability and User Interface Copilot AI
Microsoft specifies that the preview of Copilot is currently restricted to select markets, including North America and certain areas of Asia and South America. The Copilot in Windows button will be positioned on the right side of the taskbar in Windows 10, ensuring it does not overlap with desktop content or obstruct open app windows.
Compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the EEA
In response to the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Economic Area (EEA), Microsoft has introduced significant changes to the operating system (OS). Users in the EEA can now choose between providers and uninstall most in-box apps. Notable adjustments include the option to uninstall the Microsoft Edge web browser and remove Bing Search from the Windows Search pane, according to reports from Windows Central.
