What is Windows Copilot?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Windows Copilot, distinct from Microsoft 365 Copilot (which will be discussed in greater detail later in this guide), is a feature that can be installed on Windows 11, offering centralised AI support for users.\u202f<\/p>\n

It is designed to work with Bing Chat and can enable users to bring ideas to life, complete complex projects and collaborate instead of spending energy finding, launching, and working across multiple applications.\u202f<\/p>\n

Invoking Windows Copilot is familiar and easy \u2013 the button is front and centre on the Windows 11 taskbar \u2013 simple to find and use.\u202f<\/p>\n

Once open, the Windows Copilot side bar stays consistent across apps, programs, and windows, always available to act as a personal assistant.\u202f\u202fIt has the capability to make every user a power user, helping them take action, customise their settings and seamlessly connect across their most-used apps, by enhancing the existing features of Windows, such as copy\/paste, Snap Assist, Snipping Tool, and personalisation. For instance, you can ask Windows Copilot to copy, paste, rewrite, summarise, or explain your content.\u202f<\/p>\n

Just like you would with Bing Chat, you can also ask Windows Copilot a range of questions from simple to complex. If you wanted to call your family in Spain, you can quickly check the local time to make sure you\u2019re not waking them up in the middle of the night. If you want to plan a trip to visit them in Spain, you can ask Windows Copilot to find flights and accommodations for you.\u202f<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
