 Windows 11 and Office 365 Upgrades

Description

ITS is currently reaching out to faculty and staff with campus-managed Windows 10 systems to provide recommendations for those systems. Many of the remaining Windows 10 systems will have a convenient option to upgrade to Windows 11 while preserving stored data, as long as the system has enough free space to run the upgrade.

ITS is also providing an Office 365 upgrade for campus-managed Windows systems running Office 2016 or Office 2019. These systems will receive a pop-up notification when the Office 365 upgrade is ready, and this takes only a few minutes to install.

The UMSL helpdesk can assist with questions about these upgrades or with freeing up disk space.

Thanks for your partnership in keeping campus computers secure.
