After dropping Copilot into Windows, into its suite of Microsoft 365 apps, Bing, and most recently as a downloadable app on your phone, Microsoft has brought Copilot to the keyboard. Recently launched Copilot+ PCs come with a dedicated Copilot key, and even some that don’t meet the criteria come with one. Here’s everything you need to know about the Copilot key, what it does, and how to customize it.
Introducing a new Copilot key for Windows 11 PCs
The introduction of the Copilot key marks the first major change in PC keyboard layout in 30 years.
While many see it as an unnecessary change, Microsoft sees it as an “important shift toward a more personal and intelligent computing future where AI will be seamlessly integrated into Windows.”
That means that new buyers, whether they like it or not, will have to make do with the Copilot key on their keyboard.
