Windows 11: Activate Copilot (6 methods)

In Microsoft Excel, Copilot Pro should be enabled automatically, but if it's still missing, I'll show you how to do it in this guide. Copilot Pro is the $20 AI subscription that's based on Copilot (free) but adds a number of new features, such as priority access to GPT-4 and GPT-4 Turbo, improved AI image generation, the ability to create custom GPTs (coming soon), and access to chatbots from Microsoft 365 apps.

Copilot features depend on the application. In the case of Excel, you can ask the chatbot to understand the information better by being able to analyze and explore the data in the spreadsheet. In addition, you can ask virtually anything in natural language. The chatbot is also smart enough to suggest formulas based on your queries, predict “what if” scenarios, and find data correlations. In addition, you can instantly create a SWOT analysis or a PivotTable based on data.

If you're currently subscribed to Microsoft 365 Personal or Family, it's important to know that Copilot is not included in those plans. Instead, it's a standalone product that requires a separate "Copilot Pro" subscription priced at $20 per month per user. To ensure access to the AI assistant in Excel, confirm that your Microsoft 365 and Copilot Pro subscriptions are linked to the Microsoft account used to sign in to apps on Windows 11, 10, or macOS.
