Does your PC have an Intel or AMD CPU? Congrats, you don't have to worry about Recall. At least for now, it only works on Copilot+ PCs with ARM processors.

Until it shows up for everyone. That’s not paranoia, Microsoft has a bit of a trend in this department.

That's nice but Microsoft is a professional goal post mover.

  • You can turn it off (a year later option is removed)
  • Nothing is uploaded by default (new update turns it on)

They even have users arguing for that the operating system must make money somehow since it's free now. :)
