Windows 11/PC Compatibility project 

Spring 2023 - fall 2025 
Status: in progress/on track.

Microsoft support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Office of Technology Services (OTS) technicians are contacting and working with departments to identify and address computers that are incompatible with Windows 11. This helps ensure the campus is prepared for the change in vendor support. By the end of this large-scale and collaborative effort, more than 1,500 university PCs will either be replaced or upgraded to be compatible with Windows 11. 

Upgrade your compatible computer 

If you have a compatible computer, you can upgrade to Windows 11 through the Software Center at any time. To check compatibility, launch the Software Center then click the Operating Systems tab. If you see Windows 11, your computer is compatible and you can continue with the upgrade.

As part of a separate project, Windows 11 will be deployed to campus on a scheduled date once all computers are compatible. Details will be communicated to departmental IT coordinators in advance.
