Windows 11 upgrade for UEA devices
By: Communications
Windows 11 is the latest Operating System from Microsoft, which offers new tools to increase productivity, enhanced security features and improved performance from your UEA device.
ITCS is happy to announce that it has been made available for people to download from 5 November. To be one of the first to benefit from the enhanced features Windows 11 provides, you can download the upgrade ahead of the phased rollout planned for later this year.
To see all the features that Windows 11 has to offer, please visit the Microsoft Windows 11 home page.
Microsoft will stop providing updates to Windows 10 from 14 October 2025. To ensure our commitment to cyber security and to remain compliant with our security policies, including the general information security policy, ITCS will be deploying Windows 11 to remaining compatible devices over the coming months in a phased rollout.
For further information on Windows 11, including rollout dates, installation instructions, device compatibility and the lifecycle of UEA devices, please visit our dedicated Windows 11 information page.
The IT Equipment Lifecycle Management Procedure describes how the University’s IT equipment assets are supplied, recorded, managed, and disposed of. It contains information about refresh rates and what the University will provide to colleagues.
