New! Windows 11

In January 2025, GVSU Information Technology (IT) will begin migrating university-managed computers to Microsoft Windows 11, with the transition scheduled to conclude by August 2025. This upgrade is essential to maintain secure and reliable systems as Microsoft ends support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. 

The migration will occur in phases, with faculty and staff able to choose a convenient time for their upgrade or follow their assigned schedule. To help you prepare, the Windows 11 Roadmap for GVSU outlines what to expect, the phased timeline, and key features of the new system. 

Effective immediately (January 2025), all newly purchased Dell computers will be equipped with Windows 11 as the default operating system. The Windows 11: Getting to Know your New Operating System Knowledge Base article has more information on the features. 

For details on all things Windows 11, check out the Windows 11 page in the Service Portal. 


The Information Technology Division established a "Minimum Computer Standards" supported list to improve your computing experience.  By picking a machine on the supported list you'll be getting a machine that works on the GVSU network, is fully supported by IT, and is equipped with the best security practices and ability to update security software when needed. We also have a team of hardware technicians who are certified to work on our standard line-up.

Please note: Ethernet adapters are no longer a required accessory. If you would like to purchase an ethernet adapter, Technology Acquisition currently has them in stock or they can be purchased as a punchout through Amazon in Workday.
