Does your University PC need upgrading to Windows 11?
26 Mar 2025
As you may be aware, Microsoft Windows 10 will go out of support on Tuesday 14 October 2025. After this date, Microsoft will not provide any updates for it, including critical security fixes.
This means that any University desktop or laptop PCs which are still using Windows 10 will need to be upgraded to Windows 11 or replaced with more up-to-date equipment if they are unable to support Windows 11, as otherwise they will leave the University exposed to an increased cyber risk.
This work is mandatory; any PCs which are still running Windows 10 will be blocked from the University network at some point in the future.
Soon, colleagues and postgraduate researchers with Windows 10 PCs will be able to arrange their own upgrade, and choose a suitable time slot for this.
