Microsoft Recall is a new AI feature that was revealed to the public early this year. Windows Recall lets you easily fund anything and everything you may have done or searched on your Windows PC. Recall will take several screenshots throughout the day, stored in an encrypted form on your device’s storage drive. If you want to look for something, you can simply type in certain keyboards and Windows will pull up screenshots that match the keywords.
However, one thing to note is that this feature will only be available to select Windows 11 PCs. Yes! Not all Windows 11 users will be able to access the Windows Recall feature. Wondering what kind of systems and system requirements are needed to use Windows Recall? You’ve come to the right place.
