BYOD -Important Security Updates for Student BYOD devices

Important Security Update for student BYOD Devices 

Important_Medium_.png

Action is required for students with BYOD Windows 10 devices as Windows 10 will soon no longer be supported by Microsoft. 

To ensure your student device security you should upgrade to Windows 11 as soon as possible. 

Microsoft has announced that support for Windows 10 will end on 14 October 2025, meaning it will no longer receive critical security updates. 

To stay protected and ensure optimal performance, it is strongly recommended that all students with BYOD Windows 10 devices follow Microsoft’s instructions and upgrade to Windows 11 as soon as possible. There is no charge for this upgrade. 

Why this matters: 

  • Windows 10 will no longer receive Microsoft updates after 14 October 2025, leaving devices exposed to threats. 
  • Upgrading to Windows 11 helps reduce security risks. 
  • Student Work Protection: Staying current helps safeguard assignments, projects, and personal data.
