Campus Community

This is an important reminder regarding the upcoming end-of-life for Microsoft Windows 10. As of October 2025, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support for Windows 10.

For the security of our entire campus network, the University does not permit computers that are not supported to connect. Running Windows 10 past this deadline poses significant security risks to your data and the University’s systems.

The UofM Information Technology Services (ITS) team has proactively identified approximately 1,000 remaining University-owned computers that cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 and must be replaced or decommissioned by October 2025. We have been working with your departments for replacements.

If your department has been notified that you have affected computers, please prioritize working with your Local Support Provider (LSP) immediately to assess these machines and determine if they need replacement, decommissioning, or to schedule an operating system upgrade.

Please contact your LSP to address any questions or if you believe you have an affected computer. Your prompt attention to this matter is essential for maintaining a secure and functional campus environment.

We appreciate your proactive cooperation in this critical security initiative.
