  • After many delays, Windows Insiders can now try out Recall
  • Windows Recall was pushed back after privacy concerns, which are addressed
  • You’ll need a Snapdragon Copilot+ PC to give it a go

Windows Recall feature’s long road to actually being rolled out is finally coming to an end – sort of. After several delays, all centered around some major security and privacy concerns around the feature that was poised to take screenshots of whatever was on your PC’s screen every few seconds, Microsoft is ready for folks to give it a shot.

As part of the just-released Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.2415 (KB5046723) for those enrolled in the ‘Dev Channel,’ you’ll be able to give Recall – which is still labeled as (Preview) – a go and try out the long-awaited and delayed, feature. You will need a Copilot+ PC powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip to give it a go. Those with an Intel- or AMD-powered Copilot+ PC chip must wait for a future release that tosses in support.

And, of course, it’s not final software, so akin to a beta or any other preview, you’ll need to be okay with bugs, slowdowns, and crashes. Suffice it to say, it’s advised not to install it on your main computer.

Recall, as you might suspect, is entirely optional, but the gist is that it can help you find items from the past or things related to a specific search term. Since it will be taking screenshots and recording what’s on your screen, it does, as the name suggests, let you recall information … or at least that’s the idea.
