So much for the statement that Microsoft will not add any new features to Win 10.
UPDATE 11/20: Copilot coming to Windows 10
Microsoft began rolling out its new AI assistant for Windows earlier this year with the Windows 11 version 23H2 release, which adds a new Microsoft Copilot button directly to the Taskbar. Microsoft has been putting its Copilot in front of every user it can, but there's still a large chunk of PC users on the older Windows 10 OS which hasn't seen any of Microsoft's recent AI additions. That may soon be changing.
According to my sources, Microsoft is planning to bring the same Microsoft Copilot to Windows 10 in an update coming soon. Just like Windows 11, this update to Windows 10 will place a Copilot button directly on the Windows 10 taskbar, which will open the exact same Copilot sidebar experience found on Windows 11.
The main reason behind this decision is market share. Windows 10 is still in use on around 1 billion monthly active devices, compared to the 400 million monthly active devices on Windows 11. Microsoft views that additional 1 billion users as an untapped market for Copilot expansion, and so adding Copilot to Windows 10 is an obvious next step for the company.

Not no...
Not hell no...
But F*CK NO !!!!!!!!!!!
They can have my non-copiloted W10 install when they can pry it from my cold, dead machine
It's actually a feature in Edge....
Sorry, but you've already got it. There's a Copilot button at the top right of Edge......
To make Copilot appear to be a separate app as it does in Windows 11, all that needs to change is to launch Edge as an app in a window of its own and without any of the tabs. That and add an icon to the Taskbar (which you should be able to turn off in Settings). As it's really only Edge in another guise, it should have no effect on OpenShell or the like.
