Microsoft Copilot in Windows starts to roll out to more Windows 11 and 10 devices

Microsoft seems intent on making sure Copilot has been installed on every supported system. From its Windows Message Centre:

Starting today, Copilot in Windows (in preview)* begins to roll out to more Windows 11 and Windows 10 devices. In addition, starting this week, you can access up to 10 Copilot requests before signing in with a Microsoft account or Microsoft Entra ID. After reaching this limit, signing in is necessary to continue using Copilot. We recommend signing in with a Microsoft account or Entra ID to access the full capabilities of Copilot.

This new wave of Copilot in Windows availability and sign-in options will start to reach devices running supported editions of Windows 11 today. IT admins should note that Copilot is enabled by default in Windows 11, version 23H2, and disabled by default in Windows 11, version 22H2. If your organization has configured policy settings to manage Copilot in Windows, those policies will be respected during this rollout.  

Eligible devices running Home and Pro editions of Windows 10, version 22H2, and that are not managed by an organization, will start to receive Copilot in Windows later this month. This continues the rollout of Copilot in Windows 10 that began in November of 2023. This current rollout phase will reach most of its targeted Windows 11 and 10 devices by the end of May.

Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
