Windows 10: Microsoft expands Snapdragon-exclusive Copilot+ features to Intel and AMD PCs

Microsoft has announced some new features that were previously exclusive to Snapdragon-powered devices are coming to Copilot+ PCs equipped with Intel and AMD processors.

These new additions include Live Captions, Cocreator, Restyle Image, and Image Creator. The AI-powered tools have been designed to enhance accessibility and facilitate content creation. The availability of these features aims to make Copilot+ PCs more versatile and user-friendly, paving the way for a wider audience to leverage advanced AI capabilities.

Live Captions stands out as a key enhancement to improve communication, as it can translate audio and video content in real-time, and supports conference calls and podcasts.

While the new functionalities are a step forward, several advanced features remain exclusive to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs. Notably, the much-anticipated "Semantic Search" is currently only available to that specific hardware tier. Microsoft has also announced a new feature called, Voice Access, which simplifies PC control through voice commands, but, unfortunately, it remains limited to Snapdragon devices for now, raising questions about equity among users.

Despite the positive news about previously-exclusive features being made generally available, the rollout has highlighted inconsistencies across the Copilot+ PC brand, with many reviewers branding it a failure. A lot of the criticism arise because of various devices and services that bear the Copilot name, which many people find to be confusing. Microsoft has multiple tools and services use the name, such as Copilot, Copilot+, and Copilot Pro. Copilot can also be used on non-Copilot+ PC, not to mention there are keyboards with a dedicated Copilot key. Microsoft's approach has bewildered many, and locking features on specific hardware complicates the user experience.

Is there a Copilot+ PC specific forum?

Apologies, I did not explain things well.

"Microsoft Answers Redirecting and clicking on "Surface". " does not seem the correct place to chat about Copilot+ PC Windows 11, which is a RISC (Snapdragon X Elite and Plus) based version of Windows 11.

What on Earth is a Copilot+ PC?

Copilot+ PCs are an entirely new class of Windows PCs powered today exclusively by Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors. These new devices feature a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS), which unlocks new artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced experiences in Windows 11 and popular applications (apps).

Please ask Microsoft to open a special forum just for this version of Windows 11 or at least for these devices.

I wanted to chat about the Microsoft Recall feature, which I understand is only available on the Snapdragon X Elite and Plus, Copilot+ PCs.

I want to make a suggestion to Microsoft regards the Microsoft Recall feature. I would like to see an 'easy to access' button for the user to toggle Recall on or off. This way whenever I am doing something private, like financial transactions, I can turn Recall off, or when I am watching entertainment (e.g. a movie), I can turn Recall off as there is no reason to have it snapshotting every five seconds through a three hour movie. However when I am watching a presentation, or researching information on the Internet using Edge, it would be great to turn Recall on, so I could easily search the material I have been looking at, when I am later summarising my research.

Thanks.
