With just a week until Windows 7 is no longer supported, there are still dozens of University-owned computers that have yet to be updated. The time has come to upgrade!
Microsoft will be ending support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020. This means that Windows 7 will no longer receive important security updates, and all technical support from Microsoft will end. The majority of PCs across campus have already been upgraded to Windows 10, but the time has come to make sure that any pending computers have been upgraded as soon as possible to prevent any future compatibility issues or security breaches.
Beginning at 8 p.m. on January 6, 2020, automatic upgrades to Windows 10 will be scheduled for any devices still running Windows 7 on the SMU network.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the IT Help Desk at 214-768-HELP (4357) or email help@smu.edu. Additional information on the upgrade is available on our IT Connect blog, and Windows 10 training is available 24/7 at LinkedIn Learning.
