OIT has implemented a new operating system update service for managed macOS systems. Starting March 11th, 2025 if your system is not fully updated, a pop-up notification will be displayed prompting users to update their system. Users may update or defer updates to a later time. This initial update may be deferred until April 10th, 2025.

After this initial update, any additional system updates will follow the same notification process and may be deferred for up to 30 days.

Microsoft Windows 10 will reach its end of life in October 2025, after which it will no longer receive security updates or technical support from Microsoft. This can leave your system vulnerable and create compatibility issues.

To comply with GT computer policy and maintain protection, it is crucial to upgrade your operating system. The upgrade process will take about two hours and will not impact your work data or files. Acting before the end-of-life date will help keep your machine secure and ensure a smooth user experience.
