End of Support for Windows XP

Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. This means that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or technical support, and as a result, represents a significant security vulnerability. See Microsoft's Support for Window XP is Ending page for more information.

Employees with Windows XP laptops or desktops must migrate to Windows 7 (Enterprise or Ultimate edition) or Windows 8 (Pro or Enterprise edition) no later than April 8, 2014. The University has a site-wide license with Microsoft whereby employees can obtain the latest operating system at no cost.

Please contact your local IT support staff to discuss your options. You can also call the Stanford IT Service Desk at 650-725-4357 (5-HELP) for general advice and pointers to your local IT support staff.
