Windows 10 on personally-owned computers: There are several Denison-provided services that are not yet supported on Windows 10 given its very recent release (July 29, 2015) including…
- McAfee AntiVirus & AntiSpyware software: the current version for Windows computers posted in MyDenison does not run on Windows 10. Per the vendor, a new version that supports Windows 10 is expected by September 2015.
- Printing to Lab or Department Printers: the current version of Novell iPrint (used for printing to networked printers) does not support Windows 10. Per the vendor, support for Windows 10 is expected by November 2015.
Caution! With the release of this new operating system please be aware of associated malware/ransomware attempts from sources purporting to be Microsoft.
Windows 10 on Denison computers: Information Technology Services (ITS) will be evaluating this new operating system for use within our campus environment this academic year. This evaluation includes testing enterprise applications for compatibility and ensuring that Windows 10 will work with our standard hardware and network configurations. Once the evaluation is complete, we will initiate a pilot project, develop a support plan, and determine our campus-wide deployment strategy. We will keep you updated as new information develops. In the interim, please note that our current standard operating system for PC-based workstations is Windows 7. Systems running Windows 7 will receive the broadest level of technical support from ITS.
