Microsoft is reportedly planning to release Copilot, or Assistant AI, for Windows 10. Despite the anticipated end of support for Windows 10 in October 2025, the company has shown a desire to add new features for the system. This initiative would benefit users and developers of Windows 10, fulfilling the promise of Microsoft to introduce additional features from other companies.

• It looks like Microsoft will be releasing an AI assistant for Windows 10.
• According to rumours, Copilot will appear in Windows 10 identically to Windows 11, with a button on the taskbar serving as an access point to the Assistant AI.
• In October 2025, support for Windows 10 will officially end.

Windows 11 users have recently been able to use Copilot, thanks to Microsoft’s foray into the area of artificial intelligence. Rumour has it that the company is now aiming to bring an AI-based assistant to Windows 10 as well.

This is somewhat surprising, especially considering how long Windows 10 has been around. Nonetheless, the number of people using Windows 10 exceeds one billion, which presents an excellent opportunity for Microsoft to expand the user base of Copilot.

In October 2025, support for Windows 10 will officially end, so less than two years remain. Until now, the assumption has been that Microsoft will only provide security updates and bug fixes. However, the Windows Backup programme is a great example of the corporation being open to adding new features to an older operating system. Windows Backup is a built-in tool in Windows that allows data to be backed up and restored in the event of loss or damage. It allows you to make regular secure copies of files, folders and system settings.

A precedent has thus been set, which confirms reports Windows Central quoting Zac Bowden, who refers to anonymous sources and assures that Windows 10 will definitely include the feature Copilot known to be in Windows 11.

According to rumours, Copilot would appear in Windows 10 in the same way as in Windows 11, with a button in the taskbar being the access point to the AI assistant. Given the much larger user base of Windows 10 compared to Windows 11, porting this feature would not only be extremely beneficial to Windows 10 users, but also very profitable for Microsoft.

Porting Copilot to Windows 10, in addition to being able to collect data from a wider range of users, would make the project attractive to programmers. This is important because it fulfils Microsoft’s promise to introduce extensions developed by other companies in the future.

It seems that Windows 10 is still evolving. There is a chance that, despite its age, new features may still be introduced for a loyal group of Microsoft users.
