Windows 10 Upgrade Reminder

October 27, 2021 at 6:20 AM
Dear Campus Community,

This is to remind you that on Friday evening, Oct 29, 2021, we will continue the upgrade of campus-owned Windows 10 computer operating systems to the latest stable release of Windows 10. The upgrade will be for computers in the buildings listed in Group 2 of the upgrade schedule (https://uca.edu/it/windows-10-upgrade/). Upgrades will also continue for the prior Group.

The upgrades will be applied to all desktop and laptop computers that are connected using the wired network or connected using secure UCA wireless. We ask that you leave your Windows PC powered on during the weekend. This will make the upgrade process much smoother.

The update process should take no more than 4 hours to complete. That is starting from the time it begins downloading the update to the point you can log back into the computer should take no more than 4 hours. After logging in after the update the user will see "Hi. Welcome." as it updates the user profile, adding up to 40 minutes for that initial login.

*Additional information can be obtained on the IT website at https://uca.edu/it/windows-10-upgrade/.

If you have any questions, please contact the IT Helpdesk at 501.450.3107, itsupport@uca.edu, or https://uca.edu/go/itsupport/.

Thank You,
