Fall Software Updates
This fall, various updates are coming to classrooms and computing sites across the campuses to help keep you current with the ever-changing world of technology. The biggest change is the newest versions of the operating systems for PCs and Macs coming to ASU classrooms, computing sites, and libraries. Windows 10 and macOS Sierra offer new features, sleek designs, and improved performance. The following locations have testbed machines to play around with these operating systems before they’re rolled out university-wide:
Downtown Phoenix Campus - University Center (UCENT) Information Commons
Lake Havasu Campus - Learning Resource Center (HALRC) D103
Polytechnic Campus - Academic Center (CNTR) 150
Tempe Campus - Computing Commons (CPCOM) 102
Thunderbird Campus - Snell (SNEL) 19 and 20
West Campus - Fletcher Library (FLHLB) Lower Level, Computing Commons
Additionally, many of the applications and software available on ASU computing devices will be updated this fall. Here are some of the major programs being retooled (click to find out more info):
