Windows 10 is the newest release of the Microsoft Windows operating system for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater PCs. Windows 10 combines touch-friendly features and traditional desktop/laptop user interfaces as options while providing attractive graphics and a robust operating system.
ITS continues to test versions of Windows 10 to determine its compatibility with Mason-supported software and hardware. Until testing is completed and Windows 10 is certified for use on Mason-owned computers, ITS is not supporting this version of Windows. ITS support staff will offer best effort in resolving any preinstalled Windows 10 issues but cannot guarantee positive outcomes until all testing has been completed.
The ITS support staff will continue to install and support the Windows 7 operating system during the testing phase of Windows 10. If purchasing a new laptop or computer with Mason funding, please contact Patriot Computers. Patriot Computers offers ITS recommended standard laptops and desktops.
For questions on Windows 10 or this support statement, please contact the ITS Support Center at 3-8870, or email, support@gmu.edu
