This project will replace computers that are unable to run Windows 11 by October 2025, when support for Windows 10 ends. All computers must be in compliance with the Policy for University-Owned Computers. ITS estimates that nearly half of all university-owned computers will need to be replaced. Generally, these are computers purchased in 2018 or earlier. Consider adding a reference to email announcement to this page.
