Earlier this week, Microsoft made a surprising move by announcing plans to add its general AI assistant Copilot to Windows 10 (version 22H2). Copilot will be included in both Home and Pro versions of Windows 10. A release date for this update has not been announced yet, as things are still in testing and finalization, but it is expected to happen in the near future, most likely this year.
While waiting for Microsoft to officially bring Copilot to Windows 10, you can experience this AI chatbot service early by using a third-party tool like ViveTool. Let's find out right away.
Enable Copilot in Windows 10 using ViveTool
ViveTool is a third-party software that can help enable hidden or limited features for some Windows users, such as Windows Copilot.
Before you proceed, note that enabling Copilot on Windows 10 currently requires you to enroll in the Windows Insiders Program, modify the system registry, and tweak the operating system using third-party apps. This process can pose some unwanted risks to the system. Although Windows 10 is a stable operating system, and updates rarely cause errors, it is best to be cautious. Also, always back up important data on the system before any experiment.
Step 1: Download and install Windows 10 build 19045.3754 or later. At the time of writing, build 19045.3754 is only available in the Release Preview Channel.
Step 2: Update Microsoft Edge to the latest version. Go to edge://settings/help and install any available updates.
Step 3: Download ViVeTool from GitHub and extract the archive into a convenient folder.
Step 4: Open Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the folder containing the ViVeTool file using the CD command. For example: CD C:\Vive.
( Note: If you are confused about where to put the extracted content of ViveTool, the most convenient way is to choose C:/ViveTool ).
Step 5: Type vivetool /enable /id:46686174,47530616,4475501 9 and press Enter.
Step 6: Restart your computer.
Step 7: Press Win + R and type regedit to launch Windows Register Editor .
Step 8: Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Copilot\BingChat and double-click the IsUserEligible value .
Step 9: Change the value data from 0 to 1 . Note: you must be logged into Windows with your Microsoft Account; otherwise, the value will reset itself from 1 to 0 after every system restart.
Step 10: Restart your computer.
Step 11: Right-click on the taskbar and select " Show Copilot (preview) button ". The Copilot icon will then appear to the right of the notification center button. Note: you will not see the icon if the taskbar is placed on the right or left side of the screen.
Good luck!
