Windows 11 Upgrade

Windows 11 is the most recent operating system offered by Microsoft. WVU computers will be upgraded to Windows 11 in phases and your college, group, or department will be notified when your computers will receive the upgrade.

After you receive the upgrade you’ll be prompted to restart your computer. You can delay the restart up to 3 days, after which your computer will restart automatically.

View the Windows 11 Features page to learn more about the upgraded features and how to use them.

Upgrade issues

If you don’t receive the Windows 11 upgrade, or encounter any issues during the upgrade, contact your deskside support for assistance.

Broken file paths

Developers who use git, bit bucket, or other versioning tools that rely on specific folder paths may need to update file paths after the Windows 11 upgrade. Known Folder Redirection will be turned on for Morgantown campus users, which redirects the Documents, Desktop, and Pictures folders from your local machine to OneDrive. Follow the steps in the Known Folder Redirect Issues page to update these file paths.
