Copilot key will eventually be required in new PC keyboards, though not yet.

If you press the windows key I'm pretty sure it brings up search already. It definitely used to bring up Cortana on Windows 10.

I'm not sure why they would add a new key to the keyboard to achieve a function that already exists.

Cortana is not Copilot but you can disable Cortana

Just from a naming things point of view, that's sad. Much as I dislike Microsoft, and was never interested in Halo, it's fun that one of the voice-assistant things was a nod to a video game character. It's sad to have that replaced by something boring.
