Campus to Upgrade to Windows 11

 
All University workstations will be upgraded to Windows 11 before the fall semester.
 
This upgrade is due to Microsoft ending supporting for Windows 10, Oct. 14. After that date security patches will no longer be available, making Windows 10 devices vulnerable to security threats and non-compliant with Truman’s network use policy. The ITS desktop support team has already begun deploying Windows 11 and has encountered minimal issues so far. To ensure a smooth transition, the upgrade will be completed in two phases.
 
The first phase is self-service upgrades and will take place now until April 26. Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to upgrade their own computers at their convenience. The upgrade process typically takes 30-90 minutes, depending on the system’s age. This process can take longer on machines that are missing any previous updates due to the system being offline for an extended period. Users can continue using their computer during the process, but will be prompted to restart once the upgrade is complete. Upgrade instructions are available here.
 
The second phase is automatic upgrades and will take place April 26-May 10. Any remaining Windows 10 faculty/staff devices will be automatically upgraded during this phase. ITS hopes to complete all faculty/staff workstation upgrades by May 10. More details will be provided as they assess the remaining devices.
 
All classroom console computers will be upgraded to Windows 11 starting May 12. This process will be completed before summer classes begin. For more details and support visit here.
