Classroom Computers Now Running Windows 11

August 18, 2025

We’re excited to announce that all classroom computers have been upgraded to Windows 11 in preparation for the upcoming semester. This transition brings a refreshed interface and new features designed to enhance performance and usability. However, you may notice that the look and feel differ significantly from Windows 10.

🎓 What You Should Do: To ensure a smooth start to your classes, we strongly recommend visiting your assigned classrooms before the semester begins. This will give you a chance to:

• Familiarize yourself with the new Windows 11 layout and navigation

• Test any software or teaching tools you plan to use

• Address any questions or concerns ahead of time


💬 Need Help?

If you have questions about using Windows 11 or need assistance with the new interface:

• Contact the Help Desk at (503) 943-7000 or email help@up.edu

For questions related to classroom technology (projectors, audio systems, etc.):

• Reach out to AV Services at (503) 943-7774 or email media@up.edu
