End of Support for Operating Systems

Why

According to the Computer and Network Responsible Use Policy, each user's assigned University computing device or personal system attached to our network must be kept up-to-date via security patches. Security patches are one of the most effective ways to secure University data and networks against cyber-criminal malware and network attacks.
