Copilot+ PC and Recall: Windows 11 Enters the Local AI Era

By Helion Cloud Team

40+ TOPS NPU, Recall, live translation. Discover what changes for businesses with Copilot+ PC.

Copilot+ PCs, widely deployed in 2026, mark a turning point: AI runs locally, without cloud, with record energy performance. For businesses, it's the opportunity to renew their fleet with integrated AI capabilities.

What is a Copilot+ PC?

A Copilot+ PC is a Windows 11 PC with an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) of at least 40 TOPS. Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite, Intel Lunar Lake and AMD Ryzen AI 300 models qualify. Record battery life: 20h+ on some models.

Recall: Your PC's Photographic Memory

Recall periodically captures the screen locally and indexes everything you see. Search in natural language: 'the blue document with a number table I was looking at last week'. Data stays encrypted on the NPU, never sent to the cloud.

Live captions and real-time translation

Windows now translates any video or Teams conversation live in 40 languages, without internet. Studio Effects blurs background, corrects gaze and improves voice, all on the NPU. Differentiating functions for international teams.

Recall security and enterprise governance

Recall is disabled by default and controllable via Intune. Admins can exclude sensitive apps, websites, or block Recall entirely. Encryption is tied to Windows Hello and TPM 2.0. GDPR compliance is guaranteed.

Summary

Copilot+ PC transforms user experience and opens new AI use cases without cloud dependency. Helion Cloud advises on model selection, prepares your Intune policies and trains your users on the new AI Windows 11.
