Windows 11’s next big update is arriving. With Copilot chatbot, RAR support, and more
Windows Copilot is a major new feature in Windows 11 23H2 that brings the Bing Chat chatbot directly to the Windows 11 desktop. The new Copilot appears as a sidebar, making it easy to manage your PC’s settings, launch apps, or simply get answers to questions. Copilot is also integrated throughout the operating system, with Microsoft executives demonstrating the use of Copilot to write text messages using data from your calendar, Outlook, and more.
Ink Anywhere lets you handwrite with a Surface Pen or other stylus in any text field, anywhere on Windows. The OS converts what the user writes into text. There will also be built-in RGB lighting controls for gaming devices such as keyboards, mice, monitors, case fans, and so on.
The improved Windows Backup app will allow you to back up data to your PC when you want to move to a new device. Existing settings will automatically transfer to your new PC, even pinned apps in the Start menu and taskbar, and all Microsoft Store apps will be automatically restored.
