[Pols-announce] Fw: Windows 11 upgrades

[Pickerel, Linda M.]

....  I guess there is question if this got sent out to everyone.  See the text below.  This will not affect the Mac users in your departments.   Also there will be some systems that won’t meet the requirements and they should not receive the update



Thanks,

Jason



Colleagues,



To ensure our computers remain secure, reliable and compatible with modern software, we're updating all eligible computers to Windows 11 starting on February 10th . This upgrade is part of our commitment to empowering your success through reliable, modern technology.



This process is automated and requires no action on your part:

  *   If no one is logged in, the update will install immediately and automatically.
  *   If you are logged in, a dialog box will pop up, allowing you to defer the update. You can delay it up to 10 days, after which it will install automatically.



Once your computer updates to Windows 11, you can adjust these settings to customize your experience:
