“Bring your AI to work” is here: Microsoft edition - What Multiple Account Access to Copilot means

Multiple Account Access to Copilot On October 1. 2025 Microsoft released a blog post explaining how employees now can use Copilot from their personal 365 plans to work on organizational data. This is of course, an extension of the already existing "Multi account" feature that was released for corporate accounts a "couple of months" ago.

I have been on the lookout for a good (and free) software to secure my HD on my laptops. My employer have been using a tool for this, but we did not have licenses for the Vista OS.

I can also reccomend to use this software to encrypt removable media such as USB drives.
