Diambil dari The Verge, Cortana akan menggantikan posisi fitur built-in Bing search. Cortana akan menyerupai animasi icon dengan warna sesuai dengan warna accent yang kamu pilih. Akan bergerak ketika berbicara atau berpikir dan dapat memantul atau dapat mengerutkan kening sesuai emosi tergantung dari sumber atau pembicaraan kamu.
Layanan ini juga akan dilengkapi dengan fitur Notebook yang akan mengumpulkan semua informasi yang berhubungan dengan user seperti data lokasi, perilaku, informasi data diri, reminder dan informasi kontak. Selain itu user juga dapat menghapus dan mengkontrol informasi sehingga menjaga privasi user tetap aman.
