I opened Paint and a small banner asked me to join “Windows AI Labs” — an opt‑in program that, according to the on‑screen card and an attached programme agreement, will let selected users test experimental AI features inside Microsoft Paint before those features are broadly released. Overview...

Microsoft’s timing is deliberate: with Windows 10’s end-of-support deadline looming, Redmond is using the upgrade window to reposition Copilot+ PCs — and in particular Arm-powered machines such as the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 — as not just optional refresh buys but a strategic...

The clock is already ticking: Windows 10 reaches end of support on October 14, 2025, and for small- and mid-sized businesses the decision to upgrade is rapidly shifting from optional maintenance to strategic opportunity. Upgrading isn’t just about avoiding security gaps; it’s about harnessing a...

Built for speed and ready to scale, the push toward Windows 11 Pro devices—especially Copilot+ systems and Intel vPro® machines powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra—is no longer marketing fluff: it’s the practical backbone of a modern, hybrid SMB strategy that combines measurable performance gains, new...

Microsoft is rolling AI into the smallest, most ubiquitous text editor on Windows — Notepad — by adding on‑device generative features for Copilot+ PCs, and the changes signal a meaningful shift in how Microsoft blends local and cloud AI across Windows inbox apps. Overview Notepad’s September...

With Microsoft continuing to push AI into the heart of Windows while simultaneously shipping iterative Windows 11 updates, the question most users and IT managers are asking is simple but pressing: will Windows 12 arrive in late 2025 or early 2026 — and if so, what will it actually change? The...

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 Insider builds are shipping a new, full-screen renewal prompt aimed at lapsed Microsoft 365 subscriptions — an eye-catching SCOOBE (Second‑Chance Out‑of‑Box Experience) screen that insiders and early reports describe as a full‑screen nag to renew rather than a...

Microsoft’s latest in‑app prompt — a subtle “Try experimental AI features” banner inside Microsoft Paint — is the first public sign of a broader program internally referred to as Windows AI Labs, an opt‑in testbed Microsoft appears to be rolling out to let users preview and evaluate pre‑release...

Microsoft has quietly begun rolling out an opt‑in testing channel called Windows AI Labs, a program that invites selected users to try experimental AI features inside built‑in Windows 11 apps — first observed in Microsoft Paint — and which appears designed to gather structured feedback and...

IFA 2025 delivered a clear message: Copilot+ PCs and Windows 11 are moving from concept to volume devices, and OEMs used Berlin’s stage to show how new silicon, on‑device AI acceleration, and platform-level security are reshaping what a modern laptop and desktop can do. Overview The biggest...

Microsoft’s latest Insider preview (Build 26220.6682, KB5065782) sharpens Narrator’s reading and navigation behavior, brings a small curated set of Emoji 16.0 glyphs to the emoji picker, and rolls out incremental Click to Do (Copilot) refinements — changes that are small in headline but...

Microsoft’s Copilot on Windows 11 is shedding its “chat-first” skin and opening a new, dashboard-style Home tab that behaves less like a conversational window and more like an AI-centric Start menu — surfacing recent files, apps, conversations, and guided help in one place. Background Microsoft...

Microsoft’s latest Beta-channel Insider preview pushes three changes that matter for day-to-day Windows users: on-device “fluid dictation” for Voice Access, Windows Studio Effects for alternate cameras on Copilot+ PCs, and a small but potentially divisive Ask Copilot option added to File...

Hanmi Pharmaceutical’s decision to equip its field force with 5G-enabled Surface Copilot+ PCs and roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot across the business marks a clear inflection point in how a major R&D-centric pharmaceutical company is defining the “AI PC” era — a move intended to marry anywhere...

Microsoft has set a hard deadline: Windows 10 reaches end-of-support on October 14, 2025 — and that looming cut-off is now the single clearest reason for many users to seriously consider new hardware, not just a software update. The message in recent sponsored coverage for the Dell 16 Plus is...

Microsoft is quietly preparing a broader rollout of Copilot Appearance — an animated, voice-enabled avatar for Copilot — while testing UI shifts and expanded memory controls that bring Microsoft’s assistant closer to the interaction patterns already familiar from ChatGPT, Gemini and other modern...

Microsoft’s Windows lead has just sketched a future in which the operating system becomes ambient, multimodal and agentic — able to listen, see, and act — a shift powered by a new class of on‑device AI and tight hardware integration that will reshape how organisations manage and secure Windows...

Microsoft has quietly released KB5066122, an Image Processing AI component update that advances the on-device imaging stack to version 1.2508.906.0 for Intel‑powered Copilot+ systems running Windows 11, version 24H2 — a targeted, vendor‑specific push intended to improve image scaling...

I avoided Copilot for years, but after forcing myself to try specific features I quietly use them every day — not because the assistant is flawless, but because a handful of targeted tools actually save time and reduce friction in common tasks. The move from novelty “chatbot” to practical...

Microsoft’s latest update to Copilot for Windows 11 pushes the assistant farther into the OS — adding third‑party extensions that let Copilot act on your behalf across the web, new “settings” skills that can change system options for you, and AI enhancements in core apps like Photos and...
