Microsoft has confirmed<\/a><\/strong> that it will roll out its Copilot AI to Windows 10 users in the near future.<\/p>\n

Copilot is a tool for Windows that can create content in Office apps using text prompts, answer questions, and interact with documents.<\/p>\n

The Windows 10 Copilot will initially only be available to Windows Insider users in an upcoming Release Preview update. The tool will feature on the right side of the taskbar.<\/p>\n

“We will be introducing Copilot in Windows (in preview) for devices running Windows 10, version 22H2 Home and Pro editions,” said Microsoft’s Windows Insider Program Team.<\/p>\n

“When you select it, Copilot in Windows appears at the right of your screen. It will not overlap with desktop content or block open app windows.”<\/p>\n

While adding the feature to Windows 10 may make it seem like Microsoft’s AI plans are moving backwards, the move isn’t surprising.<\/p>\n

According to Statcounter GlobalStats<\/strong><\/a> data, Windows 11 accounts for 26% of current Windows installations, while Windows 10 holds a 69% share of the Windows market.<\/p>\n

Microsoft launched Windows 10<\/a><\/strong> in July 2015; by 2020, the operating system had reached one billion devices.<\/p>\n

However, the end of the operating system is in sight. In April 2023, Windows announced that it would not release any new updates<\/a><\/strong> for Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the current version of Windows 10 \u2014 22H2 \u2014 is the final version of the operating system.<\/p>\n

All editions of the operating system will still be supported with monthly security updates until Microsoft ends its support for the operating system on 14 October 2025.<\/p>\n
