A Copilot+ PC with bright streaks of color surrounding it

October 29, 2025

3 must-try Copilot+ PC features

Think about the last time you lost track of a file, wished you could design something quickly, or wanted to give your photos a fresh new look. Traditional laptops can only take you so far.

That’s why Microsoft created Copilot+ PCs —a whole new category of Windows 11 devices with AI built in at the core. They’re designed to handle everyday tasks differently: smarter, faster, and more creatively. And they don’t just rely on software tricks. Copilot+ PCs are powered by advanced processors and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that make AI features run smoothly on your device. The result? PCs that are faster than a MacBook Air with M4 and up to 5x faster than a 5-year-old Windows laptop.1

Here are three Copilot+ PC features that show why this new generation of PCs is worth a closer look.

1. Recall: fly back in time and find it instantly

Yuna, a Copilot+ PC user, discovers how to use the Recall feature to easily find files

Imagine always being able to find what you’ve seen on your computer—without the hassle. With Recall, Copilot+ PCs keep a timeline of what’s been on your screen—web pages, documents, images, even conversations—so you can jump back to them later, even if it’s been days. Instead of scrolling endlessly through browser history or digging through folders, you just describe it: “lemon pasta recipe,” “house by the lake,” or “budget chart with green bars.”2 Recall brings it back in seconds.

What makes Recall different is that it doesn’t just search file names or bookmarks—it understands context. Maybe you can’t remember the name of that new hiking trail you researched, but you remember it had “waterfall” in the description. Or maybe you skimmed a homework assignment and only remember the page had a chart with blue bars. Recall uses those clues to help you get back there instantly.

It’s like having a memory assistant built into your PC, one that never rolls its eyes when you say, “I know I saw this somewhere…”

2. Cocreator: turn ideas into images instantly

With Cocreator in Paint, you can describe an idea and watch it become an image—no design skills required.3 Want a “retro diner sign in neon lights” or a “watercolor skyline at sunset”? Just type it in, and Cocreator generates options in seconds.

You can even add a style or mood to shape the results—“comic book style” gives you something bold and graphic, while “soft watercolor” creates something dreamy. Or start with a quick doodle and let Cocreator enhance it, blending your creativity with AI.

Everyday scenario: You’re hosting a birthday dinner and want a standout invitation. Instead of scrolling through stock images, you create a custom design in minutes—completely original and totally yours.

3. Photo Restyle: remix your photos with a fresh look

Sometimes you don’t just want to fix a photo—you want to reinvent it. Photo Restyle gives your images an artistic makeover, transforming everyday shots into bold new visuals.3 Think of it as reimagining your pictures in different styles: modern, classic, colorful, or dramatic.

It’s perfect for mood boards, social posts, or just giving your favorite memories a fresh perspective. And because it runs locally on your Copilot+ PC, you can play with as many styles as you want, without relying on cloud-based tools.

Did you know? Restyling an image can highlight details you might not have noticed before—like the colors in a sunset or the texture in a photo you thought was ordinary.

Built-in features you’ll actually love

Recall, Cocreator, and Photo Restyle aren’t hidden extras or reserved for power users. They’re everyday tools designed to make your PC feel smarter and more personal. From finding things faster, to creating on demand, to giving your photos a whole new vibe—Copilot+ PCs make it easy to do more with less effort.
