Cortana can get it done



Cortana, your digital personal assistant, is right on your desktop. Ask Cortana to set up a meeting or send an email to a friend—even find your files for you and tell you jokes. Select the search box and type what you want Cortana to do, or just select the microphone to talk with Cortana instead.

Cortana is only available in certain countries/regions, and some Cortana features might not be available everywhere. If Cortana isn't available or is turned off, you can still use search.

Where you can type, you can write
