.Windows 11 to get AI Overload: Microsoft Focuses on Neural Network Boosters
Microsoft’s AI-Powered Windows 11 and Copilot+ PCs: The Future of PC Interactions?
Microsoft’s focus on AI-powered Windows 11 and Copilot+ PCs is set to redefine how we interact with our PCs, but it raises concerns about the role of artificial intelligence in our digital lives.
At CES 2025, Microsoft announced that it will not be releasing Windows 12 in the near future, instead opting to push forward with its AI-powered vision for Windows 11. The company is betting big on tools like ChatGPT and its own AI assistant, Copilot, which is accessible directly from the taskbar, becoming an everyday part of our digital work and personal lives.
Windows 10’s Departure and Microsoft’s Unwavering Focus on Its AI Vision
October 14, 2025, marks the end-of-support date for Windows 10, and Microsoft is urging users to upgrade to Windows 11. Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft’s Executive Vice President and consumer Chief Marketing Officer, emphasized this at CES 2025, stating that Windows 10 is still on track to be deprecated on this date.
When Windows 10’s support ends, Microsoft will stop releasing regular updates, including security updates. This means that users will either need to purchase a newer Windows 11 PC or pay for extra security updates for a limited time. It’s clear that Microsoft would rather all Windows 10 users upgrade to Windows 11.
Microsoft’s AI Ambitions: Bold Vision or Unnecessary Risk?
Microsoft’s focus on AI-powered Windows 11 and Copilot+ PCs offers a bold vision of what these devices will be capable of and how much they’ll change how we interact with our PCs. However, some people are disappointed that we’re not getting a bold new operating system, and others are reluctant to move on from Windows 10.
Microsoft has a long way to go to convince people that its AI improvements are worth their time. Features like Copilot and Recall have been shown to be somewhat lackluster or just outright risky in terms of aspects like security. While it’s not impossible for Microsoft to pull off its ambitions, it depends on innovations that it has yet to show.
Experimentation and Feedback
Microsoft has a chance to experiment with integrating AI-powered software and tools into Windows 11. However, experiments come with risks, and Microsoft should pay attention closely to feedback from its users. If its involvement with AI doesn’t succeed, it should consider designing Windows 12 with an option to operate without heavy AI integration.
Conclusion
Microsoft’s focus on AI-powered Windows 11 and Copilot+ PCs offers a bold vision of the future of PC interactions. While there are concerns about the role of artificial intelligence in our digital lives, Microsoft has a chance to experiment and learn from its users. In the meantime, I’m glad that Microsoft doesn’t appear to be distracted with making Windows 12 while there’s still a lot of work to be done with Windows 11.
