Have you not yet had the upgrade to Windows 11? The ISSC will be coming by one more time in the new year; it’s up to you to select a time and place to hand in your laptop for the upgrade. In January, Windows 11 will also be installed on the computers in the lecture theatres. Consequently, teaching staff will need to log on to the pc in the lecture halls. 

All university Windows 10 laptops and PCs are currently being migrated to Windows 11. Has the ISSC team been to your institute/faculty but did you miss that opportunity to upgrade your laptop? You have one more chance! Book a time slot for an upcoming option at one of the locations.

Has your faculty or unit not yet been scheduled for the upgrade? Don’t worry, the ISSC will come to you. You will find the planning below. 

PCs in the lecture theatres will also be migrated to Windows 11

In the month of January, the ISSC will also upgrade the computers in all lecture rooms to Windows 11.

For security reasons, as teaching staff, you will now need to log in to these computers with your personal ULCN account to give your presentation, and log out again afterwards. In early January, you will receive more information on what this means for their use.

Schedule for the upgrade of the desktops and laptops

Note: it is important to prepare well. See Leiden University is upgrading to Windows 11: what will this mean for you? and follow the instructions in the helpdesk portal to transfer your files and settings.

The overall planning for early next year is as follows:

• Until 23 December 2024 in the Pieter de la Court building

The ISSC Windows 11 team will be based in the Pieter de la Court building for the remainder of this year. You can hand in your laptop there, even if you are not from the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. Did you miss the earlier opportunity to upgrade your laptop? Is now a good time for you to have it installed? Then you can make a reservation for this location.

Book a time slot via: ISSC Windows 11 migratie / Windows 11 migration.

• From 6 January up to and including 14 February, the Windows 11 team will come by one final time to a number of locations in Leiden and The Hague:  the Academiegebouw, Herta Mohr, Van Steenis, KOG, and Wijnhaven.

This will be the last opportunity for the upgrade of your laptop at one of these locations. You will soon be able to reserve a time slot for this via: ISSC Windows 11 migratie / Windows 11 migration.

• From mid February until the summer of 2025, the Windows 11 team will visit the various Science locations for the roll-out of Windows 11 on the university Windows laptops and desktops.

Staff will receive full information on how to prepare for this. See also Leiden University is upgrading to Windows 11: what will this mean for you?
