The update, which arrived with build 26120.2510 of Windows 11, means more Insiders – not just those with Arm-compatible Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs – can join the Recall bun fight. However, Microsoft cautioned that users should install the latest drivers before checking out the preview code.

Microsoft stated, "With the AI capabilities of Copilot+ PCs, it's now possible to quickly find and return to apps, websites, images, or documents just by describing their content."

Recall did not have the best beginning. It was announced during Microsoft's Build event, only to be swiftly pulled when the privacy and security implications of the initial implementation became clear. Following its abrupt removal, Microsoft promised that Windows Insiders would be allowed to check out a revised version of the preview within weeks. This took a lot longer than Vole thought.

The preview resurfaced for Windows Insiders running Qualcomm-flavoured Arm PCs in November and is off by default. It soon encountered an issue where snapshots were not taken if an update had been applied before joining the Dev Channel.

Despite this, Microsoft is now expanding the net, allowing users with Intel and AMD-based Copilot+ PCs to check out the technology. The preview of Recall is also now rolling out to Windows Insiders in the European Economic Area (EEA).

Recall has attracted much controversy due to potential privacy violations. However, Click To Do is a helpful tool that allows users to interact with a snapshot or image and can be used without Recall. Windows Insiders on the Dev Channel can also access Click To Do on Intel and AMD-based Copilot+ PCs. Microsoft has continued to tweak the experience since the initial preview release, with new ways to interact with the app and some additional functions, such as summarising or rewriting text.
