Microsoft has recently launched a new “Windows App”, which will allow users to remotely connect to their PCs from iPhones, iPads, and other devices.
It provides a secure way to access a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops made available by an administrator.
The upcoming Windows 10 version 22H2, soon to be released to participants of Microsoft’s Windows Insider program, will introduce Copilot features similar to those in Windows 11.
This enhancement will allow users to seek assistance and suggestions from Copilot for various tasks and topics, utilizing the chatbot through typing or voice commands by clicking its icon on the taskbar.
However, the Copilot experience in Windows 10 is somewhat limited compared to its Windows 11 counterpart. Initially, it won’t support functions like adjusting settings or launching applications, though Microsoft suggests these features might be added in the future, as indicated in a recent blog post.
The decision to integrate Copilot into Windows 10 is driven primarily by its extensive user base.
According to a report by Windows Central, around one billion devices are still operating on Windows 10 monthly, significantly outnumbering the 400 million devices using Windows 11.
This vast user base makes it more appealing for developers to create Copilot plug-ins, introduced in May, for both operating systems rather than just one.
Windows 10 users with at least 4GB of RAM and a display resolution of 720p or higher, running Windows 10 Home and Pro editions, will receive the Copilot feature.
However, the upgrade won’t be available for Enterprise, Education, and company-managed Pro editions, nor to users in Europe at this stage.
Initially, only North American users and those in select parts of Asia and South America will have access to Copilot on Windows 10, with plans to expand to additional markets over time.
