Windows 10 support ends soon

Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 in October 2025. To keep your computer secure and in line with UC policy, all university computers need to be running a version of Windows that’s still supported.

Not sure which version you have?
Here’s a quick way to check:

1. Hold down the Windows key and press R
2. In the box that pops up, type winver and select OK
   You’ll see a window with your current version of Windows.

Next step – upgrade to Windows 11

If your university-owned, managed computer is eligible for a Windows 11 upgrade, ITS can help you schedule and complete the update through BigFix. Contact us today to get started.
