IT Services is transitioning Marquette computers to Windows 11, Microsoft’s latest operating system. This system offers new features, enhanced usability and improved security. This transition is necessary as Windows 10 will no longer be supported after October 2025.
- Key features: Windows 11 introduces a centered start menu for easy app and file access, snap layouts and direct integration with Microsoft Teams.
- General pool classrooms: All general pool classrooms have been upgraded to Windows 11.
- New computers: Starting Monday, July 8, all new computers deployed by IT Services will come pre-installed with Windows 11.
- Compatibility: Software and services supported by IT Services are thoroughly tested for compatibility with Windows 11. Please visit Software at Marquette—Faculty & Staff for a comprehensive list.
- Campus updates: Campus computers compatible with Windows 11 will soon be updated, while incompatible CRP computers will be replaced with computers running Windows 11.
Note: Any software or service not listed in the TechSquad Portal article Software at Marquette—Faculty & Staff is the responsibility of the respective user, department or college.
