    Recall is like a personal memory assistant that helps you quickly find files, documents, or messages you’ve worked on in the past. Whether you’re jumping between tasks or revisiting an old project, Recall ensures you can easily retrieve what you need without wasting time.

  1. I’m most excited with the fact that you can get up to 22 hours of battery life – it means that I can do whatever I need to do on my laptop without reaching for the charger. That’s a great feature!

  2. The feature I am most excited to use is Live Captions. I think it will make my videos better with this ability to have captions appear live.

  3. The Cocreator feature is my favourite because I’m someone who runs a website & it’s social media profile (and I’m not the best artist) and has a lot of ideas which I find hard to come up with visuals for so this feature would be handy for me.

  4. I would find the Recall feature helpful because I forgot the names of files I saved and where I saved them.

  5. I love the all day battery life so that I can be productive all day and night without having to be plugged in.

  6. I think I am most excited for Recall as I sometimes have a tough time finding past documents or other files and waste a lot of time looking for them so this would be most helpful for me!!!

  7. I like the Windows Studio Effects because I want my background to look professional and clean and adjusted to the best lighting when I’m in a meeting.

  8. I like the Live Caption feature…that would really help me, as I tend to take copious notes during meetings.

  9. I’m excited with the Cocreator using AI to help you generate ideas, suggest improvements, and refine your content in real-time.

  10. I am so excited to use Cocreator in Microsoft Paint so it can create amazing artwork based on my input and the help of AI.

  11. Live captions – sometimes it is hard to understand someone based on their accent even, and you get frustrated having them continuously repeat, therefore this would be so helpful

  12. The Instant Recall feature seems amazing. I usually remember what I stored but waste a lot of time to find it. Can’t wait to win this, forget the basketball game, I’m not a fan.

  13. I am most excited about the Recall Feature, as I am not the most organized person. This would really help!

  14. I am most excited about the Windows studio effects so I can eliminate backgrounds when online with friends or business associates.

  15. “THE RECALL FEATURE ”
    I always have been a bad organizer and often keep track of losing files.
    The recall feature has been very wonderful gift from windows apart from many more wonderful features.

  16. I’m most excited about the Cocreator feature! I’m not the most artistic one in the bunch, but I sometimes get storyboarding ideas in my head – it would be fun to see them drawn out for me on the screen!

  17. Windows Studio Effects should be a prevalent choice. It stands out significantly above other special effects programs. Its features—selective blurring, sharpening, tinting, and instantaneous futuristic enhancements with selective editing—make it an obvious choice for me. While I haven’t had personal experience with Snapdragon, I was thrilled to see the Snapdragon® X Elite bundled in a Windows laptop with Copilot + PC! I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks, @BestBuyCanada!

  18. I’m most excited about CoPilot+ PC feature like its turbocharged NPU powered by Snapdragon® X Elite, for an unmatched experience with lightning speed and smooth performance.

  19. I like the Windows studio effects because I’d like to be able to blur out the background when I have online meetings.

  20. The all day battery life is a great feature. No need to plug in every few hours! This makes it very portable.

  21. Generative erase – because it will help me get rid of all the unwanted objects or imperfections from the images in the Photos app

  22. I am most excited about the Recall feature. I spend a fair amount of time trying to find a file that I saved or a site that I used previously. Hopefully, Recall will save me some time.

  23. cocreator would be great as I am a lazy bastard and I would love for something else to take the burden from me

  24. I’m a big fan of the automatic live captions because in my workspace there is a certain level of noise that even headphones cannot block and I can’t always have my phones on; live captions enhances and quickens understanding.

  25. The contextual assistance across apps in CoPilot+ is exciting because it streamlines workflows, saves time, and amplifies expertise. As a senior, it allows you to focus on strategic leadership while CoPilot handles tasks like drafting, analyzing, and summarizing, making your work more efficient and impactful.
