Campus Community,

As you may be aware, Microsoft will no longer support Windows 10 as of October 2025, affecting many computers across campus. Due to significant security concerns, the University does not allow any unsupported computers on the campus network.

To prepare for this change, the UofM Information Technology Services (ITS) team has conducted an inventory of University computers that cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 and must be replaced prior to the Windows 10 support expiration date. This includes an estimated 2,500 computers. The affected departments have been notified, and we encourage everyone to work with their Local Support Providers (LSP) to determine if these items need to be replaced or decommissioned.

While ITS is prepared for these changes, it is also essential that departments across campus take the appropriate action over the next 15 months to update the necessary equipment ahead of the deadline to avoid disruption for employees.

Please contact your LSP with any questions. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
