Microsoft’s Recall feature on Windows, first revealed during the Windows and Surface AI event in May, has been seen by many as a privacy nightmare. While the feature will only appear on Copilot+ PCs with special hardware requirements, Recall is already unlocked to run on unsupported hardware (without an NPU).
Windows 11 will now support old CPUs (with a catch)

Techie Albacore recently cracked Windows Recall to run on devices with older Qualcomm Snapdragon chips, Microsoft SQ processors, or an Ampere chipset. Using a tool called Amperage, available via GitHub, you can now unlock and enable Recall as well.
Great strides are being made towards enabling Recall on current Arm64 hardware, but no fancy X Elite in sight! ✨In theory it should work on Intel/AMD too, but OEMs have only received Arm64 specific ML model bundles, so there's not much I can do about it yet.
