<p>Microsoft has introduced its new AI assistant &#8220;Copilot&#8221; to Windows 11 as part of the major 2023 Update. Contrary to earlier information that Microsoft&#8217;s focus was aimed exclusively at Windows 11 for new features, the latest reports reveal the company&#8217;s intention to extend Copilot to Windows 10 as well.</p>

<p>This clearly shows a shift in strategy, as Microsoft aims to cheer a large number of users who still have not transitioned to Windows 11. Despite Windows 11&#8217;s existence, over a billion devices still operate on Windows 10, beating the adoption rate of Windows 11. To ensure Copilot&#8217;s wider usage, Microsoft plans to make it available for Windows 10 users too. Additionally, Microsoft also wants to invite developers to create plugins for Copilot by having a larger potential user base.</p>
<p>The end of support for Windows 10 is set for October 14, 2025. However, according to various information from different sources, Microsoft is having internal discussions about a possible extension of that date, although still without a final decision.</p>
