We’re excited to announce that the Windows 11 upgrade will be available for all Denison University faculty and staff starting March 10th, 2025! As previously announced, this upgrade offers numerous enhancements.

Why This Upgrade Matters

Windows 11 offers a range of enhancements to improve your overall computing experience, including:

  • Improved Performance: Many devices may see faster boot times and smoother multitasking, particularly those with newer hardware.
  • Enhanced Security: Advanced features to better protect your devices and sensitive data against emerging threats.
  • Refreshed Interface: A modern, intuitive design with new features to make navigation easier and more efficient.

Timeline

  • Self-service upgrade available: March 10, 2025.
  • Recommended upgrade window: March 10, 2025 – May 31, 2025
  • Upgrade reminders: June 1, 2025 – July 31, 2025

The upgrade will be automatically installed, after July 31, 2025. To minimize disruptions, we encourage you to back up any critical data before this date. While the upgrade is designed to preserve your files, a backup adds an extra layer of security.

Here’s how:

  2. Initiate the upgrade: Click on the “Windows 11 Upgrade” Icon available on your desktop and follow the on-screen prompts.
  3. Automatic Restart: Once the upgrade is downloaded and installed, your computer will automatically restart to complete the process.
