Windows 10 End of Life 10/2025

Support for the following Microsoft products ends on October 14, 2025

• Windows 10
• Windows 11 version 22H2
• Microsoft Office 2016 and 2019

After this date, these versions will no longer receive security updates from Microsoft. This means that systems with the above-mentioned installations will be considered insecure from this date and represent potential security risks, which is why RHRZ is hereby informing you in good time that there is an acute need for action in this regard.

In order to ensure secure and stable IT operations at RPTU, it is therefore necessary to upgrade to a current version of Windows 11 (e.g. 24H2) and a current version of Office (M365 Apps for Enterprise or Professional Plus 2024) in good time.

Please note that the operation of devices with operating systems that no longer receive security updatesis not permitted in the university network.

If you wish to continue using a Windows 10 device, an operating concept is required that documents and justifies its secure use. If you have any questions or to coordinate a possible, justified, exceptional case, please contact your responsible IT contact person or the RHRZ support team (rz-support@rptu.de) at an early stage.

Yours sincerely,
Your RHRZ team
