Best Microsoft Copilot Tips for Windows Users

Copilot is the AI assistant in Windows 11. It can adjust system settings, write and summarize text and answer questions, yet many people only use a small part of it. These are the best Microsoft Copilot tips for getting more out of it.

Use Natural Language Commands

One of the biggest advantages of Copilot is that it understands natural language. Instead of searching through menus, you can simply ask Copilot what you need.

Examples:

“Turn on dark mode”
“Summarize this text”
“Help me write an email”
“Explain this topic”

Using natural language makes Copilot much easier and faster to use.

Copilot can help you adjust many Windows settings without manually navigating through system menus.

You can ask Copilot to:

Enable dark mode
Turn on Bluetooth
Adjust system settings
Open specific apps

This can save time, especially for beginners who are unfamiliar with Windows settings.
