Managed Windows Systems Upgrades Underway
Microsoft will end support of Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. ITS has begun gradually upgrading managed systems to Windows 11. As a reminder, users can self-upgrade their systems at any time through Software Center. If your system does not support Windows 11, please coordinate with your department to receive a new device. For more information, see the Windows 11 Roadmap.
