The IT Center blocked all Windows 7 traffic in the university networks beginning 20 January 2020 (N.B. earlier date 13 January). Note that personal Windows 7 laptops have also been blocked from the network!
Windows 7 traffic was blocked, because Microsoft ends Windows 7 support in early 2020. Microsoft will also discontinue security updates for the operating system. Windows 7 computers owned by the university were upgraded to Windows 10 during 2019.
- If you have not upgraded your Windows 7 computer to Windows 10 despite the notifications, you can still upgrade it by contacting Helpdesk
- Your unit has decided if a new computer will be purchased for you, if your computer will be upgraded or if it will be taken out of use (e.g. if you have several computers in use).
- If a new computer will be purchased for you, please wait for instructions.
