Microsoft has announced updates for its Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11, emphasizing the integration of AI tools into daily computing. AI will function as a personal assistant, enabling users to find files and images by describing content in their own words. Windows 11 will be available on devices from manufacturers like Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, and Microsoft, powered by Qualcomm, Intel, and AMD processors. New features will be tested by the Windows Insider community before a phased general release in October and November 2024.
One feature, Recall, will help users find previously viewed content by capturing screenshots and creating a searchable record, accessible only through Windows Hello for security. Microsoft has implemented measures to filter out sensitive information. Other features include ‘Click to do,’ which suggests task completions, and enhancements to the Photos app for improving image quality. The Windows Search functionality will also be upgraded to locate files based on user descriptions without needing internet connectivity.
The Paint app will receive upgrades, including generative fill and erase functionalities, allowing users to create and modify images without a subscription. The upcoming Windows 11 feature upgrade, 24H2, will integrate these AI capabilities and introduce enhancements like Energy Saver mode, Hearing Aid support, Wi-Fi 7 compatibility, and interface upgrades.
