The fastest, most intelligent Windows PCs ever

Recall (preview) is now available through the Learn more.

Recall (preview) helps you save time by easily connecting you to something you remember seeing on your Copilot+ PC. You can use Recall (preview) on Copilot+ PCs with Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS) to find and reengage with content you have viewed on your device. Recall is currently in preview status; during this phase, we will collect customer feedback, develop more controls for enterprise customers to manage and govern Recall data and improve the overall experience for users. Once Recall is made widely available to customers, you may need to download the latest Windows updates to access it and other new AI features and experiences for Copilot+ PCs.

Recall (preview) is optimised for select languages, including English, Chinese (simplified), French, German, Japanese and Spanish. This means Recall is able to retrieve snapshots from your PC’s timeline based on more sophisticated searches in these languages. During the preview phase, we will enhance optimisation for additional languages. Recall can also retrieve snapshots from your PC’s timeline based on text-to-text searches in more than 160 languages.

Recall (preview) uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to save images of your active screen every few seconds. The snapshots are encrypted and saved on your PC’s hard drive. You can use Recall to locate the content you have viewed on your PC using search or on a timeline bar that allows you to scroll through your snapshots. Once you find the snapshot that you were looking for in Recall, it will be analysed and offer you options to interact with the content.

Recall (preview) will also enable you to reopen the snapshot to the original application from which it was created. As Recall is refined over time, it will open to the actual location in the source document, website or email featured in the snapshot. This functionality will be improved during Recall’s preview phase.

Copilot+ PC storage size determines the number of snapshots that Recall can take and store. The minimum hard drive space needed to run Recall is 256 GB, and 50 GB of space must be available. The default allocation for Recall on a device with 256 GB will be 25 GB, which can store approximately 3 months of snapshots. You can increase the storage allocation for Recall in your PC Settings. Old snapshots will be deleted once you use your allocated storage, allowing new ones to be stored. Learn more about Recall.

Recall (preview) is a Windows AI feature that’s part of what makes Copilot+ PCs special and Microsoft built privacy into Recall’s design from the ground up. The set-up experience of Copilot+ PCs will give you a choice to opt-in to saving snapshots using Recall. If you don’t proactively choose to turn it on, it will be off by default.

On Copilot+ PCs you will see the Recall taskbar icon after you first activate your device. You can use that icon to open Recall’s settings and make choices about what snapshots Recall collects and stores on your device. You can limit which snapshots Recall collects; for example, you can select specific apps or websites visited in a supported browser to filter out of your snapshots. (Filtering out specific websites will only work in supported browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome.) Privacy and control over your Recall experience.

Recall (preview) snapshots are kept on Copilot+ PCs themselves, on the local hard drive, and are protected using data encryption on your Windows 11 Home device and (if you have Windows 11 Pro or an enterprise Windows 11 SKU) BitLocker. Recall will come with additional layers of data protection including “just in time” decryption protected by Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security (ESS). Learn more.

Automatic super resolution (Auto SR) seamlessly integrates with Windows on a Copilot+ PC with a Snapdragon® X Series processor to automatically enhance a set of existing games by default and boosts frame rates while maintaining detailed visuals. Auto SR functions by automatically lowering the game's rendering resolution to increase framerate, then employs sophisticated AI technology to provide enhanced high-definition visuals. This results in a smoother, more detailed gaming experience. See Automatic super resolution for more information and a list of games that Auto SR is applied to by default.
