PCWorld

Instead of integrating Copilot as a function in Windows, Microsoft has presented its AI assistant as a new app. The app seems to automatically install itself onto your machine via the monthly updates, but only if you're in the US.

Windows 11 2023 Update review: The rise of the AI PC

PCWorld

Add Windows 11 features to Windows 10 with these helpful tools

PCWorld

Microsoft releases a new version of its two operating systems Windows 10 and 11 every autumn. However, the software company has only delivered new features for Windows 11, limiting Windows 10 to basic upgrades alone. Windows 10 also received an update a short time later, but you won't find any real innovations. It's limited to "improvements that affect the quality, productivity, and security of Windows 10," per Microsoft. That's disappointing for Windows 10 users -- but you're not fully left behind. Here's how you can implement the new Windows 11 features into Windows 10 as well. After years of stagnation, the Windows File Explorer is increasingly the focus of Microsoft developers.

If you're buying a product on Amazon, you're familiar with the collection of reviews and ratings that appears well down the product's page. Today, you'll also see a short paragraph that uses AI to sum up what those customers think. AI has become a controversial tool, as artists complain that placing AI art next to their own original works devalues the medium. As a business tool, however, it's received a warmer reception.
