Microsoft plans to bring up the Copilot feature to Windows 10 in a future update. This decision has been driven by the significant market share still held by Windows 10, which is currently utilized on approximately one billion devices, compared to Windows 11's 400 million. Incorporating Copilot into Windows 10 appears to be a strategic move to expand its user base.
It appears that the capabilities of Copilot will be similar for both Windows 10 and Windows 11, making it compatible with both operating systems. In Windows 10, users will find a dedicated button on the taskbar to launch Copilot, which will generate a sidebar similar to that in Windows 11.
Furthermore, reports suggest that the new leadership within the Windows and Devices division aims to keep Windows 10 regularly updated with various new features and services. In other words, Copilot is not the only feature Microsoft plans to bring to the older system. This approach contrasts with former strategies when Panos Panay rapidly shifted focus away from Windows 10 development.
The extended support for Windows 10 remains an ongoing discussion within Microsoft, with a final decision yet to be reached. It's worth noting that the current end-of-support date for Windows 10 is set for October 2025.
