Windows 10 Build 23100 Updated | Complete
While the tech world is heavily focused on the evolution of Windows 11, Microsoft has proven this week that Windows 10 is far from retired. The company has begun rolling out a significant update for the aging but beloved operating system, bumping the version number to Build 23100.

The star of the show in Build 23100 is the continued integration of Microsoft Copilot. After testing with Insiders, Microsoft is expanding the availability of the AI assistant to a broader range of Windows 10 users.
With this update, the Copilot icon now sits prominently on the taskbar. Clicking it opens a sidebar pane that allows you to interact with the AI to summarize content, rewrite text, generate images, and even adjust Windows settings (like toggling dark mode or snapping windows) using natural language. It’s not a radical change, but it makes
For Windows 10 users, this is a massive win. It brings the flagship AI feature previously exclusive to Windows 11, bridging the gap between the two operating systems and ensuring that Windows 10 users aren't left behind in the AI revolution.
