"Is free Copilot enough?" — For quick chat and drafting, yes. But the free version can't reach into your Excel sheets, SharePoint, mailbox or meetings — that needs the paid Microsoft 365 Copilot. So: free Copilot for questions and pasted text; the paid seat for in-app and your-own-data work; Claude for the heavy reasoning. Microsoft renames and re-scopes these often — see Microsoft's Copilot docs for current details, and ask IT (Johan.d@wekudata.se) for what Qvantum has licensed.
