Microsoft is currently deploying Copilot to Windows 10 devices.

Microsoft has begun deploying its Copilot AI assistant to select non-managed systems within the Windows Insider program, specifically targeting those running the Home and Pro editions of Windows 10 22H2.

Insiders who are part of the Release Preview Channel can initiate their experience with Copilot by heading to Settings, selecting Update & Security, and then Windows Update. Once there, they need to activate the option "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available." This action should be followed by installing Windows 10 22H2 Build 19045.3757 (KB5032278) and then checking for updates.

The Windows Insider Program Team announced on Monday that Insiders on compatible devices in the Release Preview Channel who followed these steps with last week's update should soon see Copilot in their Windows system. The team also reminded users that the launch will be a gradual process, utilizing controlled feature rollout (CFR) over the upcoming months.

In a future phase of this rollout, Microsoft plans to extend Copilot's availability to systems running Windows 10 Enterprise or Education version 22H2 and to Professional devices under organizational management.

IT administrators looking to integrate Copilot into their Windows 10 systems can start preparing by consulting the guidelines provided on the "Manage Copilot in Windows" support page.

The recently introduced AI assistant, Copilot, is now available on Windows 10 systems, offering users a new way to interact with their devices. To access Copilot, users can simply click on its icon, newly added to the end of the Windows taskbar. This action launches a chat window on the desktop, where users can type in their queries. Additionally, voice interactions are possible through the microphone icon within the chat window, similar to the functionality in Windows 11.

However, it's important to note that not all features available in the Windows 11 version of Copilot are present in Windows 10. Certain capabilities, such as opening applications or adjusting preferences, are currently not supported on Windows 10.

As of now, the preview release of Copilot for Windows 10 is limited to specific global markets, including North America, parts of Asia, and some regions in South America. The company plans to expand this availability to more markets gradually.

Despite the introduction of Copilot to Windows 10, Microsoft has confirmed that the end-of-support date for Windows 10, set for October 14, 2025, remains unchanged. Copilot was first launched with Windows 11 22H2 in September and has since become a default feature on Windows 11 23H2 devices.
