Microsoft Copilot, the AI assistant, is available as a standalone app for Windows. While it may automatically install for users in the US via updates, those in the EU can obtain it from the Microsoft Store. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for manual installation.
To begin, open the Microsoft Store app, readily accessible from your Start menu. In the search bar, type “Copilot” and select the official “Microsoft Copilot” app from the search results. Once you’ve located it, simply click the “Install” button. The app will then download and install itself onto your system.

Upon completion, Windows will prompt you to either launch the app immediately or pin it to your Start menu for easy access. Pinning it to the Start menu creates a convenient shortcut, displaying the Copilot logo. Right-clicking on the pinned icon reveals additional options, including running the app as an administrator, adjusting settings, and uninstalling the app.
Alternatively, you can manage the Copilot app through your Windows settings. Navigate to “Apps,” then select “Installed Apps.” Locate Microsoft Copilot in the list, click the three dots next to its entry, and access the settings or uninstall options.
