The Copilot key is a new feature on modern Windows keyboards that provides direct access to the AI-powered Microsoft Copilot. With just one keystroke, users can quickly and easily integrate smart assistant functions into their daily work.
Where is the Copilot key located?
The Copilot key is a special key on modern Windows PCs and laptops that Microsoft introduced in 2024. It provides direct access to Microsoft Copilot, the AI assistant for Windows and Microsoft 365.
- The Copilot key is usually located on the right side of the keyboard, usually between the “Alt Gr” and “Ctrl” keys or in place of the classic ‘Menu’ key. It is marked with a special symbol (usually a stylized “C” or the Copilot logo).
- On older keyboards without a Copilot key, Copilot can usually be accessed using the Windows key + C key combination (depending on the system settings).
- The Copilot key is currently mainly available on new Windows PCs from major manufacturers (e.g., Lenovo, Dell, HP, Acer).
- The function may vary depending on the Windows version and device configuration.
- The Copilot button makes it easier than ever to access AI-powered features in Windows and Microsoft 365.
What does the Copilot key do?
It is important to know what happens when you press the Copilot key:
- Pressing the Copilot key opens the Copilot window directly in Windows.
- It provides quick access to AI-powered features such as text generation, image generation, summaries, translations, and more.
- In Microsoft 365 applications (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, Outlook), the Copilot button can be used to directly launch AI features such as content suggestions or automations.
Advantages of the Copilot key
The Copilot key offers a number of advantages:
- Quick access: No need to go through menus or the taskbar.
- Increased productivity: AI tools can be used directly while you work.
- Future-proof: The button is a central element for integrating AI into everyday work.
