Windows 11 Rollout

Windows 11 Enterprise is the current version of Microsoft’s operating system.

Microsoft will cease all support for Windows 10, including security updates, in October 2025. With this in mind, UCA has phased out support for Windows 10.  All existing supported UCA PC computer models that can run Windows 11 will need to have it installed. All other UCA-owned PCs that cannot run Windows 11 need to be retired and replaced.

Computers that Support Windows 11

The following are examples of UCA PC computer models supported by IT that can have Windows 11 installed. If your model is not listed, please contact IT to determine eligibility.

  • Dell Optiplex 3050 | 3060 | 3070 | 3080 | 3090 | 3000 | 7010 | 7020 | Pro Slim Plus
  • Dell Latitude 3500 | 5310 | 3510 | 5320 | 5340 | 3520 | 3530 | 3540 | 5350 | 3550 | Pro 16 Plus | Pro 13 Plus

  • HP ProBook 655 G4 | 650 G3/4/5/8 | EliteBook 650 G9

Rollout Timeline

The following outlines the steps IT is taking to roll-out Windows 11 Enterprise to the campus.

  • New Computers – All new PC computer models now come with Windows 11 Enterprise installed.
  • Reimaging Existing Computers (see note B) – Any PC computers that need to be reimaged and can run Windows 11 will have that operating system installed. Any computers in need of reimaging that cannot run Windows 11 need to be replaced.
  • Voluntary Deployments (see notes A & B) – Any employee who has a UCA-supported PC computer model that can run Windows 11 may have it deployed by filling out this form. Once complete, someone from the Help Desk will contact you to schedule the upgrade.
  • Required Deployments (see notes A & B) – On February 28, 2025, IT began the process of reimaging all UCA-supported PC computers still running Windows 10 to Windows 11. Beginning October 14, 2025, any PC computer not running Windows 11 will be blocked from logging into the AD domain.

Notes

(A) End of UCA support for individual computer models may differ from end of Microsoft support date. Refer to the UCA supported computer list for end of UCA support dates.
(B) It is the responsibility of the employee to back up files on a UCA-owned computer. Ensure that your data is backed up, saved on a UCA network drive or on a UCA Google Drive prior to reimaging. For more information see UCA Board Policy 412.
