You can see what Recall will be like around 24 seconds into the 'Copilot+ PC' announcement video released by Microsoft.

Microsoft describes Recall as 'a better way to remember anything.'
Something like a search box will appear, type 'Now' and click the icon.
Use the slider bar to go back in time and search for any action you have taken on your PC.
Microsoft describes Recall as 'a feature that lets you find almost anything you see on your desktop by entering just a few words of context.'
For example, if you search for 'my road trips,' a large amount of data about past road trips will appear.
The data will be categorized by elements such as 'red cars,' 'buildings,' 'roads,' 'people,' and 'mountains,' and will be handled in a way that makes it catchable in a variety of searches.
It seems that you can search not only data such as photos and videos, but also web pages and tasks you are doing in Microsoft 365 apps, and everything will be displayed as candidates. Therefore, if you select a task you are doing in a Microsoft 365 app, you can seamlessly resume the task you were doing halfway through using the Recall search function.
To be able to search everything on your PC, you need to save everything on your PC. This can raise privacy concerns, but Copilot+ PC allows you to configure in detail what information Recall can capture. Even AI running on the device is designed not to have access to private content. IT administrators can also disable Recall from saving snapshots by using Microsoft Intune . Additionally, new policies will be added in the future that allow for centralized filtering of specific applications and websites.
Recall is only available on Copilot+ PC, which has a minimum system requirement of 'NPU AI processing power of 40 TOPS or more.'
