Why should you care?

Copilot is an AI assistant that helps you change settings and work faster. By default, Microsoft uses your conversations to train its AI. If you prefer to keep your chat data private, you may want to turn this feature off.

What happens when you are done?

With Copilot installed, you can enable or disable it, open Copilot when Windows starts, Pin or Unpin the Copilot side panel, Resize the Copilot side panel, delete chat history in Copilot, create a desktop shortcut, modify Copilot key, and more.
