Beginning in April 2024, faculty and staff with Windows computers will begin receiving announcements on their computers to upgrade Windows 10 to the newest supported version, 22H2.
Faculty and staff have the option to upgrade when they receive the announcement or schedule the upgrade for another time. OIT recommends that faculty and staff perform the update at the end of the workday, as the upgrade will require 90 minutes of downtime.
This upgrade will not delete any applications or data, but as always, OIT recommends backing up before performing any OS upgrade. Windows 11 users will not be affected.
Please perform this upgrade at a time convenient to you. OIT suggests starting the upgrade or scheduling it to occur just before you leave for the end of the day. OIT also recommends performing the upgrade while on campus, connected to power, and connected to the UA network. Below is an example of the announcement faculty and staff can expect to see.
Machines that are not upgraded by September will automatically receive the update from OIT. OIT recommends that faculty and staff schedule the upgrade for this summer and perform it at a time of their choosing.
