Dear Augsburg University Staff and Faculty,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to inform you of an upcoming upgrade to our university’s standard operating system environment. On Monday January 6th, 2025 we will begin the process of transitioning all university-managed Windows 10 computers to Windows 11.
What to Expect: Automatic Upgrade: The upgrade will be deployed automatically. Please keep your computers on if you are on campus. If you are remote, the update will push to your computer when you are back on campus.
Minimal Downtime: We anticipate that the process should take approximately 30 minutes, during which your device will be unavailable. We encourage you to save and close all open files and applications before leaving work prior to Monday, January 6th.
How To Prepare: As always, it is important to save and backup all of your files to Google Drive or another backup solution. Classrooms: Classroom and lab computers have already been upgraded to Windows 11 during the summer.
Post-Upgrade Support: Our IT support team will be available to assist with any questions or issues you may encounter after the upgrade. If you experience any difficulties, please contact your LFC. We have provided documentation and a quick-start guide to help you navigate the new interface and features below: https://go.augsburg.edu/windows11
A zoom training session is scheduled on Wednesday January 8th, 2025 for those new to Windows 11.
