Windows has always been the place where computing innovation happens first. This was the case when we introduced Copilot+ PCs last May - the fastest, most intelligent, and most secure Windows PCs ever built. The innovation continues today with the general availability (GA) of exclusive AI experiences like Recall (preview), Click to Do (preview) and improved Windows search across Copilot+ PCs.
To learn more about the exclusive Copilot+ PC features available starting today, see the blog post Copilot+ PCs are the most performant Windows PCs ever built, now with more AI features that empower you every day.
When will this happen:
The new features and policies are available to eligible Copilot+ PCs with the April 2025 Windows non-security preview update.
Note: Copilot+ PC experiences vary by device and market and may require updates continuing to roll out through 2025; Recall and Click to Do will be coming to European Economic Area later in 2025. Timing varies. See aka.ms/copilotpluspcs.
