- Mar 30, 2026
Great referenceAmeliaHernandez - there are so many changes, it seems like you and Teresa_Cyrus (as well as so many of us) will continue to watch the roadmap and what’s rolled out/showing up and follow along as the changes come to the products we’re using daily! Keep up the great work
Excellent in depth review of the differences inherient in the Copilot versions. I often see this question at work, or #2; how do i get the upgraded version of Copilot? I love being part of AI enablement at work and in my personal life.
Hello wpollitt , happy this article helps you and inspire you to learn more! Sure! Copilot Chat (Basic) is out-of-the-box as part of your work M365 account. If you want to get an upgrade, or a M365 Copilot Premium license, your company would need to assign the license to your work M365 account. Companies have different processes for that, so the best would be that you ask to your IT department how to get the M365 Copilot Premium license.
Let me know if you have further questions.
