iSolutions worked throughout the summer break to ensure that all Common Learning Space (CLS) workstations and lecture theatres across the University were upgraded to the latest version of Microsoft Windows, Windows 10.
The look and feel of the new Windows 10 workstations is very similar to the previous Windows 8.1 version on the CLS Workstations.
To further improve the user experience on the workstations in CLS rooms, over 1,000 hard drives have been upgraded to Solid State Drives (SSD), delivering quicker logins and superior performance.
The new Windows 10 workstations will be running Microsoft Office 2016. If you are unsure of the changes introduced by Office 2016, you can find a number of helpful videos on Lynda.com:
Dr Oz Parchment, Director of iSolutions said: “The University is constantly investing in and updating IT services to improve our users’ experience. All 8,000 staff workstations will also be upgraded to Windows 10 by December 2017. This will be rolled out on an agreed basis faculty-by-faculty.”
Windows 10 is the latest release of Microsoft’s operating system and this upgrade promises a better IT experience with faster start up times. It will allow us to upgrade to the latest version of other software.
