As is usually the case when new operating systems are first released, there are incompatibilities with a number of widely used applications and for this reason the Office of Information Technology recommends you delay upgrading to Windows 11 or MacOS 12 Monterey.

OIT is testing the new operating systems will be tracking our findings on a Windows 11 Release Information page and a MacOS 12 Monterey Release Information page. OIT recommends that before upgrading to any new operating system, ensure your most used applications are compatible by checking our Release Information pages, or by contacting vendors directly.
