Answer 1

Hi,

I don't think there's a single Microsoft product that can do all of that. The closest option would be Windows Recall, which can capture and index your activity on the device. However, it’s only available on Copilot+ PCs, as it requires a system with an NPU.

Answer 2

Microsoft Edge does store some information about your browsing activity, including the websites you visit and your browsing history. However, if you delete your history, that data is removed from your local device. Additionally, Microsoft may collect data related to your usage of services, such as email interactions, depending on your privacy settings and the services you use.

For example, if you are signed in to Microsoft services, your browsing activity may be saved to personalize your experience, but you can opt-out of this data collection. You can also manage your privacy settings to control what data is saved and how it is used.

It's important to note that even if you delete your local history, some data may still be retained by Microsoft for compliance and service improvement purposes, as outlined in their privacy policies.
