When Microsoft and Apple release new operating systems, ITS and other testers on campus verify core applications (e.g., antivirus) and commonly-used administrative and academic applications (e.g., Office & SPSS). During initial release periods it is not recommended to upgrade College-owned computers to the latest OS version. Please note that details about "Known Issues" (below) may take time to be discovered and documented; do not consider a lack of known problems to be a recommendation to upgrade. Detailed compatibility testing may take months; consider deferring longer if you run atypical applications. Details will be added below when an OS release is unblocked and available for installation.
