  The key seems pretty pointless. I disable cortana anyways so idk why i’d want a key for it lol. It’s other function is search apparently but I already use the win key for that

    I believe it’s to use generative A.I. on command

      Why would you need a special key for that?

        You don’t, anymore than you need the Windows key. MS just wants accessing AI on their platform to be quick and ubiquitous. This is their solution.

  No, if you have an old keyboard, you just won’t have the button, keyboard will still work.

  Same as if you have an old keyboard without the Windows Menu button.
