IT Services is partnering with UA Little Rock departmental offices to upgrade all desktop computers on campus to the latest version of the Microsoft Windows 11 operating system. The project is currently underway and is expected to be completed by early July. This upgrade to campus desktop computers will ensure that all of our applications, software, and processes are compatible with Windows 11.
