Microsoft Rolls Out Copilot PC Insights for Windows, Answering 6 Types of System Questions

Summary
PC Insights is rolling out in the Copilot Windows app, letting users ask AI about their Windows setup instead of digging through settings manually.
Microsoft says the feature can analyze hardware, software and system status for queries such as battery health, BIOS version, CPU usage, storage space, network adapters and printer status.
Copilot must get permission before accessing system data; users can allow one request, approve similar requests for a session, or deny access, and Microsoft says personal files are not used to train its models.
The tool is limited to analysis and explanation: it can identify likely problem areas and clarify technical details, but it cannot fix issues, change settings or run troubleshooting steps on its own.
The rollout appears gradual, with the feature not yet visible on at least one Windows 11 laptop and two virtual machines checked in the report.
