A while ago we talked about Cortana and the uncertain future that awaits her. Microsoft's personal assistant has been walking on the wire for months, among other reasons due to its limited presence in the market. Few devices have opted for Cortana and its use on computers is not as common as it can be on speakers, televisions or mobile phones.

However, if you have ever used Cortana or if you are a regular user, you may be curious about the data that the Microsoft assistant has gathered about you.Thus, if this is your situation, these are the steps you have to take to download them to your computer
