Campus Technology Services (CTS) continues to work on a campus-wide transition to Windows 11. This transition is necessary as part of an ongoing commitment to provide a secure and efficient technology environment.
Microsoft's support for Windows 10 concluded last week, on Oct. 14. Microsoft will no longer supply security updates for that operating system. Upgrading to Windows 11 is therefore essential to mitigate increasing security risk, CTS said. Please review the following information and/or contact CTS to arrange your upgrade.
For employee computers
One of the first steps involved in upgrading to Windows 11 is determining hardware compatibility, as only certain models are compatible. If you need assistance in determining if your computer can be upgraded, please contact CTS or refer to the “Determining Hardware Compatibility” section of the Windows 11 migration information.
If your computer is not compatible with Windows 11, it will need to be replaced. You can use the campus standard hardware quotes for budgeting and requisition purposes. You can also check to see if CTS has any used inventory that could be used for replacements.
If your computer is compatible with Windows 11, please ensure any specialized software and peripherals you use are also compatible, then proceed with submitting a “Windows 11 Upgrade” ticket.
More information
CTS has a comprehensive Windows 11 Migration Information document that should help answer many questions. Windows 11 features, training information, and frequently asked questions are also included.
Feel free to contact the CTS Help Desk for questions.
