Moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11

The ITS team has officially begun the process of upgrading university computers from Windows 10 to Windows 11. These upgrades are being deployed in stages through an "In-Place Upgrade." When your computer is eligible, you will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to complete the upgrade. If you require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the ITS Help Desk.

Windows 11 offers enhanced performance, improved usability, and exciting new features to streamline your work experience.

What to Expect

• A Smooth Experience: We're working hard to make sure this change is smooth and easy for everyone.
• Clear Communication: We'll keep you updated with simple, clear information on what's happening and when.

Next Steps

• Self-Service Option: Soon, the upgrade will be available through "Software Center" for self-service installation.
