Copilot will serve as the gateway to the realm of AI on Windows PCs. The introduction of the Windows key on PC keyboards occurred approximately three decades ago, providing users with the means to engage with the Windows operating system at that time.

Yusuf Mehdi, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer for Consumers, expressed enthusiasm in his blog stating that the company is thrilled to announce the introduction of the Copilot key for Windows 11 PCs, marking a noteworthy advancement. As the company enters the new year, Microsoft anticipates a substantial transition towards a more personalized and intelligent computing era, where artificial intelligence will seamlessly integrate into Windows across the system, silicon, and hardware, added the blog.

Mehdi said, “The introduction of the Copilot key marks the first significant change to the Windows PC keyboard in nearly three decades." He explained the benefits of this initiative by stating, "This move aims to streamline users' computing experiences, not only simplifying them but also enhancing them. Consequently, 2024 is poised to be recognized as the year of the AI PC." Microsoft is actively working to "revolutionize" the search experience through Copilot in Bing, as well as enhance productivity through Copilot for Microsoft 365.

The company is now focused on bringing about positive transformations in how individuals accomplish tasks on their PCs with Copilot in Windows. Microsoft emphasizes that these new features have been developed based on the feedback received from users.
