Access observed
Free access
Microsoft describes Copilot Free as available at no cost; basic use can start without signing in.
What you will need
No sign-in for basic use
Basic use can begin at copilot.microsoft.com without signing in; a personal Microsoft account unlocks history and additional features.
How access works
Signing in changes the available experience
Microsoft documents free browser, app, and Edge access for general questions and web tasks. History, image creation, longer conversations, voice, and other features can depend on signing in.
Limits and charges
Features vary by account, region, and conditions
Signing in adds history and other features. Availability and limits can vary by feature and region.
Your data and account
Know whether the session is signed in
Check the active Microsoft account, current consumer privacy information, and whether the task belongs in a consumer or organizational Copilot environment.
Before relying on it
Keep consumer and work accounts separate
Do not confuse free consumer Copilot with Copilot inside paid Microsoft 365 or business plans. Features, account protections, and data boundaries differ. Confirm the sign-in state, region, available features, and data boundary before pasting work material or assuming Microsoft 365 integration is included.
