Details:
Windows 11 now integrates AI deeply into the operating system (OS), enabling secure, scalable, and agentic work environments. Multiple new features are coming to Windows 11 devices where Copilot is available, starting with Windows Insiders in Copilot Labs. Additionally, Copilot+ PCs deliver native AI experiences with features like Click to Do, Copilot Voice, Copilot Vision, and Copilot Action. Windows 365 further extends this AI-ready environment to the cloud. When these innovative features become available to organizations, IT admins can deploy and manage them using existing tools, ensuring compliance and security. Read more at How Windows 11 and AI are transforming the future of work, as you get ready for more announcements at Microsoft Ignite in November.
When will this happen:
Many of the announced AI features are currently available for non-IT-managed devices in Windows Insider Preview. Some features are generally available today and others are expected soon. More information will be available at Microsoft Ignite on November 17-21, 2025.
