Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 (and Windows 10) is upgrading the Copilot AI integration with two useful features: tagging and a new “Ask Copilot” menu that lets you quickly expand, explain and summarize the selected texts in a long PDF or web app. While the tagging feature is rolling out to everyone, the new Ask Copilot menu is limited to Canary.

You’ll need an ARM64 processor like the Snapdragon X Elite with NPU, 225GB of storage (SSD), and up to 16GB of RAM to use Windows 11 version 24H2’s highly anticipated “AI Explorer”.
