Information Resources & Technology has started installing Windows 10 on new University-owned computers and laptops and older machines that require updating. IRT was previously only updating touch-screen devices with the new Windows operating system.
No immediate action by employees is required because of this change, which only applies to faculty and staff on the Glassboro campus.
Employees who bring a University-owned computer to the Technology Assistance Center for repair may be told the machine will be returned to them with the Windows 10 operating system, as well as the latest version of the Microsoft Office suite, Office 2016. Please let a technician know if this upgrade may interfere with software you need to fulfill your job responsibilities. IRT will work to accommodate employees who need to keep Windows 7 and/or Office 2013 for that reason.
Free Lynda.com courses are available for employees who may need help navigating Windows 10 or Office 2016. Visit rowan.edu/lynda for instructions on how to log into Lynda.com and then search Lynda.com for “Windows 10 Essential Training” and “Learn Microsoft Office 2016.”
Please contact the Technology Support Center at 856-256-4400 or support@rowan.edu with any questions or concerns.
