Work with your IT team to replace computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11

All WVU-owned or -managed computers that are still using Windows 10 and cannot upgrade to Windows 11 must be replaced by Sept. 30. 

Machines that have not been upgraded or replaced by that date will be removed from the WVU network to eliminate security risks, except in extremely rare circumstances that will be scrutinized. 

This change applies to all WVU campuses, including Health Sciences Center locations. 

If you are a faculty member, researcher or administrative employee who is still using any version of Windows 10, immediately begin working with your college or department IT support team. They will help determine whether an upgrade is possible, and if not, will work with Information Security to see what options may be available. 

All major WVU systems and services, including SOLE, have been vetted with Windows 11, so units are not likely to encounter disruptions when they upgrade.
