With the brand new version Windows 11 23H2, Microsoft is now also integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the operating system. In the future, the new Windows Copilot will be able to control Windows functions and programs directly without mouse clicks. We give an outlook on how you can use Copilot and other AI tools in practice.
Beyond the current AI progress, we stick with what PC-WELT has been delivering for exactly 40 years: namely guides, tips and software for Windows. Of course, this also includes the many new functions that Microsoft recently integrated into its operating system. We present everything important in this special issue.
Because Windows 10 will continue to receive security updates until fall 2025, there is almost two years left to upgrade to Windows 11. In order not to miss out on the functional advantage, the switch is a good idea. Switching from Windows 10 to the current version remains free and is easy, including moving the system to a new PC.
You can read this and much more in the new PC-WELT special issue XXL 1/2024 Windows 2024 – The big manual. Order now at the kiosk or conveniently in the PC-WELT shop!
