==FAQ==

===How do I prepare for the update?===

You can perform these step at any time.

* Ensure that you have at least 20GB of free disk space. If you need assistance freeing up disk space, feel free to contact Tech Support and we can help.
* Make sure to keep important documents backed up and in a location other than on your computer. For example, on a flash drive, external hard drive, or in OneDrive.
* While the update process preserves your settings, documents, and applications, it is always a good idea to have multiple copies of important files in secure backup locations.
* This update is more significant than usual updates. As such, '''please plan for a minimum of 1.5 hours without the use of your computer.''' For this reason, we recommend beginning the update just before you leave work for the day.
* Launch [[Software Center]] from your Start Menu or system tray to view and install this update. If your Software Center application doesn’t load or you do not see the update, contact Tech Support and we will assist.

===I’m ready to update!===

Starting April 10th, 2018 the Windows 10 Fall Creator's Update will be available to download from [[Software Center]].
* Check Windows Update to ensure there are no pending updates. If there are, please install them prior to installing this feature update.
* Restart your machine to ensure there are no pending Windows updates or other pending software updates, as these may prevent the feature update from installing correctly.
* Plug in your device's power cord and leave it plugged in. '''The update will fail if you don't plug in your power cord!!'''
* Make sure to save any open files or documents.
* Close all open programs or applications
* Go to Software Center and select the Feature Update
* The update will take a while. This is a great opportunity to stretch your legs!

===Why is this update such a big deal?===

Microsoft has changed the way it supports its operating systems to improve security while seamlessly delivering new features. New versions of Windows 10 come out two times a year and each new version is supported for 18 months. Cyber-attacks (such as the WannaCry ransomware attack) frequently target computers with older versions of Windows, so this frequent update cycle helps protect users from emerging threats.

Older versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) were typically supported for five years or more. That slower update cycle allowed IT departments to upgrade computer equipment (desktops, laptops, tablets) without the need to perform an operating system upgrade on existing hardware. The 18-month life-cycle of Windows 10 (also referred to as "Windows-as-a-Service") is shorter than the life-cycle of our current Windows hardware, so we now support and encourage in-place operating system upgrades.

===How long will the upgrade take?===

In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which computer model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much free space they have on their hard drive.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===
Yes! We understand that your time is valuable, and we don’t want this upgrade to get in the way of your job or course work. To that end, users will have four weeks to perform the upgrade at a time that is convenient for them. Due to the more frequent update cycle from Microsoft, the version of Windows 10 on many laptops is at the end of its life and is no longer supported by Microsoft, so we must upgrade our computers to stay protected against emerging threats.

===What happens if I don’t perform the upgrade?===

At the end of that four week optional upgrade period any computers that have not yet been updated will be upgraded automatically.

===Will this erase my hard drive or will I lose my data?===

No. The entire purpose of an in-place upgrade is to preserve a user’s data and programs while updating the operating system. But accidents can happen, so it is always a good idea to back up your data before performing any major upgrade.

===What happens if my computer is not plugged in during the upgrade or doesn't have 20GB of free disk space?===

[[File:1709InplaceUpdateFailure1.png|400px]]

You will see the message above.

If you did not have a power cord plugged in, please plug in the power cord then select continue. If you want to exit this screen you can also select continue and the upgrade will end. You can repeat the upgrade process at a time when you have power plugged into the system.

If you do not have 20GB of free disk space, please select Exit to end the upgrade process. You can retry the update once you have at least 20GB (20 gigs) of free space. Make sure you prepare your system for upgrade by removing large files from your hard drive. Call or email Tech Support for assistance. Remember to check your downloads folder and empty your computer's recycle bin when freeing up space!

===If I have issues with my computer, will this update fix them?===

This is a core operating system update and may not automatically resolve/repair existing issues with your computer. If something is wrong with your system please contact WSU Tech Support '''before''' starting this upgrade.

Microsoft has changed the way it supports its operating systems to improve security while seamlessly delivering new features. New versions of Windows 10 come out two times a year and each new version is supported for 18 months. Cyber-attacks (such as the WannaCry ransomware attack) frequently target computers with older versions of Windows, so this frequent update cycle helps protect users from emerging threats.

Older versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) were typically supported for five years or more. That slower update cycle allowed IT departments to upgrade computer equipment (desktops, laptops, tablets) without the need to perform an operating system upgrade on existing hardware. The 18-month life-cycle of Windows 10 (also referred to as "Windows-as-a-Service") is shorter than the life-cycle of our current Windows hardware, so we now support and encourage in-place operating system upgrades.

===How long will the upgrade take?===

In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which computer model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much free space they have on their hard drive.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===
Yes! We understand that your time is valuable, and we don’t want this upgrade to get in the way of your job or course work. To that end, users will have four weeks to perform the upgrade at a time that is convenient for them. Due to the more frequent update cycle from Microsoft, the version of Windows 10 on many laptops is at the end of its life and is no longer supported by Microsoft, so we must upgrade our computers to stay protected against emerging threats.

===What happens if I don’t perform the upgrade?===

At the end of that four week optional upgrade period any computers that have not yet been updated will be upgraded automatically.

===Will this erase my hard drive or will I lose my data?===

No. The entire purpose of an in-place upgrade is to preserve a user’s data and programs while updating the operating system. But accidents can happen, so it is always a good idea to back up your data before performing any major upgrade.

===What happens if my computer is not plugged in during the upgrade or doesn't have 20GB of free disk space?===

You will see the message above.

If you did not have a power cord plugged in, please plug in the power cord then select continue. If you want to exit this screen you can also select continue and the upgrade will end. You can repeat the upgrade process at a time when you have power plugged into the system.

If you do not have 20GB of free disk space, please select Exit to end the upgrade process. You can retry the update once you have at least 20GB (20 gigs) of free space. Make sure you prepare your system for upgrade by removing large files from your hard drive. Call or email Tech Support for assistance. Remember to check your downloads folder and empty your computer's recycle bin when freeing up space!

===If I have issues with my computer, will this update fix them?===

This is a core operating system update and may not automatically resolve/repair existing issues with your computer. If something is wrong with your system please contact WSU Tech Support '''before''' starting this upgrade.

===How long will the upgrade take?===
In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which computer model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much free space they have on their hard drive.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===

Draft:Windows 10 In-Place Feature Update

2018-04-06T04:45:55Z

LBarlow1: /* Current Build */

Software Center

2018-04-06T04:44:05Z

LBarlow1: /* What Should I Expect to See? */

{{TOC_Float_Right}}
==What is Software Center?==
Software Center (also known as SCCM) is Winona State University's (WSU) Windows application management framework. SCCM stands for System Center Configuration Manager. Only WSU computers will see WSU's Software Center application. This applies to both Windows desktops, laptops, and any other Windows devices that WSU distributes to end users.

==What Should I Expect to See?==
When Software Center has new software available, a standard notification will appear in the system tray at the lower-right of the screen.

[[File:C--SoftwareCenterUpdateAvailable.PNG]]

Occasionally, not often, WSU will have to push updates that are time sensitive, security related, or address other known problems. In that case, the message may appear a bit differently and may be a bit harder to ignore.

[[File:1709FallCreatorsUpdate.png|600px]]

==How is Software Center Used?==
Software Center delivers important updates to WSU computers. All students, staff, and faculty members can use this tool by searching for Software Center in their Windows 10 start menu (lower-left hand corner) or by interacting with the Software Center icon in the system tray (lower-right hand corner).

===Windows 10 Major Version Upgrades===
It is sometimes necessary to upgrade Windows 10 to the next major revision (sometimes referred to as "feature updates" or "named updates") in order to provide the best performance, security, and application compatibility.

*These updates are typically more time consuming and take more reboots than standard monthly Windows Updates.
*Depending on the nature of the update, other components of the computer may be upgraded at this time (BIOS, installed software, etc.)

===BIOS Updates===
BIOS updates modify and upgrade the firmware of the computer. Firmware is the layer that exists between the computer's hardware and software. Hardware --> Firmware --> Software. Keeping BIOS and firmware versions up to date ensures optimal security, health, and performance for all computers, not just Windows PCs.

For WSU's Windows computers, BIOS updates are available via Software Center.

==HP BIOS Updates==

'''Current HP BIOS Versions'''

''Updated 3/13/18''

*HP 840 G1 - 1.43 Rev A
*HP 840 G2 - 1.24 Rev A
*HP 840 G3 - 1.24 Rev A
*HP 1030 G2 X360 - 1.15 Rev A

To see if a BIOS update is available, open Software Center and the select the Applications tab.

Estimated time to completion: 15-20 Minutes

[[File:BIOSUpdateScreen.png|600px]]

If a BIOS update is available, ensure the following prior to installing it:
*The power adapter remains plugged in during the entire process.
*All applications and software are closed.
*All documents are saved and closed.
*The computer can remain undisturbed for 15-20 minutes.

[[File:BIOSUpdateScreen2.png|600px]]

After installing the update, the machine will restart and display the BIOS update screen. It is not necessary to interact with the computer at this point.

[[File:BIOSSettingsUpdateScreen.png|600px]]

The BIOS update will cause the computer to reboot several times. The computer fan may get loud, the computer may emit an audible beep, and several different screens may display during the update.

'''NOTE: Interrupting this process may cause permanent damage to the computer and may result in a loss of data!'''

[[File:BIOSSettingsUpdateScreen2.png|600px]]

Once the BIOS update is complete, the standard Windows login screen appears. At this point, users can log in and use the computer as usual.

Following a BIOS update, there should be no noticeable change to the computer. It's all under the hood!

===How is this update any different than the standard monthly Windows updates?===
Microsoft has changed the way it supports its operating systems to improve security and seamlessly deliver new features. New versions of Windows 10 come out two times a year and each version is supported for 18 months. Cyber-attacks (such as the WannaCry ransomware attack) frequently target computers with older versions of Windows, so this more frequent update cycle helps protect users from emerging threats.

Older versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) were typically supported for five years or more. That slower update cycle allowed IT departments to upgrade computer equipment (desktops, laptops, tablets) without the need to perform an operating system upgrade on existing hardware. The 18-month life-cycle of Windows 10 (also referred to as "Windows-as-a-Service") is shorter than the life-cycle of our current Windows hardware, so we now support and encourage in-place operating system upgrades.

===How long will the upgrade take?===
In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which computer model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much free space they have on their hard drive.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===
Yes! We understand that your time is valuable, and we don’t want this upgrade to get in the way of your job or course work. To that end, users will have four weeks to perform the upgrade at a time that is convenient for them. Due to the more frequent update cycle from Microsoft, the version of Windows 10 on many laptops is at the end of its life and is no longer supported by Microsoft, so we must upgrade our computers to stay protected against emerging threats.

===What happens if I don’t perform the upgrade?===
At the end of that four week optional upgrade period any computers that have not yet been updated will be upgraded automatically.

===Will this erase my hard drive or will I lose my data?===
No. The entire purpose of an in-place upgrade is to preserve a user’s data and programs while updating the operating system. However, it is always a good idea to back up your data before performing any major upgrade.

===What happens if my computer is not plugged in during the upgrade or doesn't have 20GB of free disk space?===

If you did not have 20GB of free disk space, please select Exit and the upgrade will end. You can re-attempt the update again once you have enough storage available for the upgrade to run. Make sure you prepare your system for upgrade by removing large files from your hard drive until there is at least 20GB of free space available. Call or email Tech Support for assistance creating free space on your computer. Remember to check your downloads folder and empty your computer's recycle bin when freeing up space!

===If I have issues with my computer, will this update fix them?===

* Make sure to have any important documents backed up and in a location other than on your device. While this process is nondestructive to documents or applications, it best practice to always have multiple copies in other locations to ensure redundancy.
* Set aside and plan for a at minimum 1.5 hours without use of your mobile device.
* If your BIOS is out of date and your specified BIOS update is remaining in your Software Center still, run that ahead of time to shorter your feature update process. You can visit the Software Center wiki page, to find documentation on performing BIOS updates.
* Launch the software center application to view the update. If you can see the update in your software center, its actually downloading in the background so that when you do run your update, the time waiting for the package to download should be much shorter. If your software center application doesn’t load or you do not see the update, then stop into the Tech Support Center and we will assist.

===I’m ready to update now what?===
Starting April 10 the Windows 10 1709 Feature Update will be available to download.
* Check Windows Update to ensure there is no pending updates. If you have updates, install them prior to running your feature update.
* Restart your machine to ensure no pending windows update or software updates would prevent the feature update from running correctly.
* Plug in your device with the power cords. The update will fail if this is not done!
* Make sure to save any open files or documents.
* Close all open programs or applications
* Go to Software Center and select the Feature Update
* Then wait the allotted time for the update to run

===How is this update any different than the standard monthly Windows updates?===
Microsoft has changed the way it supports its operating systems to improve security and seamlessly deliver new features. New versions of Windows 10 come out two times a year and each version is supported for 18 months. Cyber-attacks (such as the WannaCry ransomware attack) frequently target computers with older versions of Windows, so this more frequent update cycle helps protect users from emerging threats.

Older versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) were typically supported for five years or more. That slower update cycle allowed IT departments to upgrade computer equipment (desktops, laptops, tablets) without the need to perform an operating system upgrade on existing hardware. The 18-month life-cycle of Windows 10 (also referred to as "Windows-as-a-Service") is shorter than the life-cycle of our current Windows hardware, so we now support and encourage in-place operating system upgrades.

===How long will the upgrade take?===
In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which computer model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much free space they have on their hard drive.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===
Yes! We understand that your time is valuable, and we don’t want this upgrade to get in the way of your job or course work. To that end, users will have four weeks to perform the upgrade at a time that is convenient for them. Due to the more frequent update cycle from Microsoft, the version of Windows 10 on many laptops is at the end of its life and is no longer supported by Microsoft, so we must upgrade our computers to stay protected against emerging threats.

===What happens if I don’t perform the upgrade?===
At the end of that four week optional upgrade period any computers that have not yet been updated will be upgraded automatically.

===Will this erase my hard drive or will I lose my data?===
No. The entire purpose of an in-place upgrade is to preserve a user’s data and programs while updating the operating system. However, it is always a good idea to back up your data before performing any major upgrade.

===What happens if my computer is not plugged in during the upgrade or doesn't have 20GB of free disk space?===

If you did not have a power cord plugged in, please plug in the power cord then select continue. If you want to exit this screen you can also select continue and the upgrade will end. You can repeat the upgrade process at a time when you have power plugged into the system.

Make sure you prepare your system for upgrade by removing large files from your hard drive until there is at least 20GB of free space available. Call or email Tech Support for assistance creating free space on your computer. Remember to check your downloads folder and empty your computer's recycle bin when freeing up space!

===If I have issues with my computer, will this update fix them?===

This upgrade is a core operating system update and may not automatically resolve/repair existing issues with your computer. If something is wrong with your system please contact WSU Tech Support before starting this upgrade to ensure your system is running correctly and is ready to be upgraded.

Windows 10 build 1709, also known as “The Fall Creators Update” will be coming to your WSU-issued Windows computer soon. In the coming weeks, WSU computers running Windows 10 will be able to receive this upgraded version of Windows 10. This is a significant upgrade that can take up to an hour or longer to perform, but is necessary in order to keep your computer secure. Because Microsoft has made some significant changes in how it supports its operating systems, we must also adapt.

Older versions of Windows (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) were typically supported for five years or more. That slower update cycle allowed IT departments to upgrade computer equipment (desktops, laptops, tablets) without the need to perform an operating system upgrade on existing hardware. The 18-month life-cycle of Windows 10 (also referred to as "Windows-as-a-Service") is shorter than the life-cycle of our current Windows hardware, so we now support and encourage in-place operating system upgrades.

===How long will the upgrade take?===
In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which computer model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much free space they have on their hard drive.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===
Yes! We understand that your time is valuable, and we don’t want this upgrade to get in the way of your job or course work. To that end, users will have four weeks to perform the upgrade at a time that is convenient for them. Due to the more frequent update cycle from Microsoft, the version of Windows 10 on many laptops is at the end of its life and is no longer supported by Microsoft, so we must upgrade our computers to stay protected against emerging threats.

===What happens if I don’t perform the upgrade?===
At the end of that four week optional upgrade period any computers that have not yet been updated will be upgraded automatically.

===Will this erase my hard drive or will I lose my data?===
No. The entire purpose of an in-place upgrade is to preserve a user’s data and programs while updating the operating system. However, it is always a good idea to back up your data before performing any major upgrade.

===What happens if my computer is not plugged in during the upgrade?===
[[File:ACPower.png|400px]]

[[File:1709InplaceUpdateFailure1.png]]
You will see the message above. If you experience this please plug in the power cord then select continue. If you want to exit this screen you can also select continue and the upgrade will end. You can repeat the upgrade process at a time when you have power plugged into the system.

===What happens if my computer doesn’t have 20GB of free disk space during the upgrade?===
[[File:HardDriveSpace.png|400px]]

You will see the message above. If you experience this please select Exit and the upgrade will end. You can re-attempt the update again once you have enough storage available for the upgrade to run. Make sure you prepare your system for upgrade by removing large files from your hard drive until there is at least 20GB of free space available. Call or email Tech Support for assistance creating free space on your computer. Remember to check your downloads folder and empty your computer's recycle bin when freeing up space!

===If I have issues with my computer, will this update fix them?===

This upgrade is a core operating system update and may not automatically resolve/repair existing issues with your computer. If something is wrong with your system please contact WSU Tech Support before starting this upgrade to ensure your system is running correctly and is ready to be upgraded.

__NOTOC__
[[File:Win10Creators.jpg|250px|left]]

Windows 10 build 1709, also known as “The Fall Creators Update” will be coming to your WSU-issued Windows laptop soon. In the coming weeks, WSU laptops running Windows 10 will be able to receive this upgraded version of Windows 10. This is a significant upgrade that can take up to an hour or longer to perform, but is necessary in order to keep your computers secure. Because Microsoft has made some significant changes in how it supports its operating systems, we must also adapt. We in Information Technology are working hard to ensure that this upgrade will not impact your work or classes during the semester. Please read below for some answers to some frequently asked questions.

==FAQ==
===Users have never been forced to upgrade in the past, why are you doing this now?===
Microsoft has changed the way it supports its operating systems to try and increase security. Recent cyber-attacks such as the WannaCry ransomware attack targeted only computers with older versions of Windows. This means that new versions of Windows 10 come out two times a year and each version is supported for 18 months. In the past, older versions of were supported for five years or more. This allowed us to upgrade Windows PCs slowly over time as equipment was exchanged or replaced, without performing an in-place upgrade. The 18-month life-cycle of Windows-as-a-Service is shorter than the life-cycle of our PCs, so we now support and encourage in-place upgrades in certain circumstances.

===How long will the upgrade take?===
In general, around 90 minutes. Users may experience a range in times depending on which laptop model they have, how many programs they have installed, network speed, and how much data they have on their hard drive.

===The end of the semester is a very busy time, why does it have to be now?===
The version of Windows 10 on many laptops is at the end of its life and no longer supported by Microsoft. Microsoft will no longer be issuing security patches as of November, so we must upgrade computers to stay protected against emerging threats.

===Will I be able to choose when to install the upgrade?===
Yes! We understand that your time is valuable, and we don’t want this upgrade to get in the way of your job or course work. To that end, users will have four weeks to perform the upgrade at a time that is convenient for them.

===What happens if I don’t perform the upgrade?===
At the end of that four weeks, after the fall term is over and grades are submitted, any computers that have not been updated will automatically be upgraded.

===Will this erase my hard drive or will I lose my data?===
No. An in-place upgrade preserves a user’s data and programs. However, it is always a good idea to back up your data before performing an upgrade such as this, just in case.

===What happens if my computer is not plugged into AC Power during the upgrade?===
[[File:ACPower.png|350px]]

You will see the message above. Please if you experience this, plug in the AC Adapter to the system and then select continue. If you want to exit this screen you can also select continue and the upgrade will end. You can repeat the upgrade process at a time when you have the AC adapter plugged into the system.

===What happens if my computer doesn’t have 20GB of free disk space during the upgrade?===
[[File:HardDriveSpace.png|350px]]

You will see the message above. Please, if you experience this, select Exit and the upgrade will end. You can re-attempt the update again once you have enough storage available for the upgrade to run. Make sure you prepare your system for upgrade by removing large files from your hard drive until there is at least 20GB of free space available. Call or email Tech Support for assistance creating free space on your computer. Remember to empty your trash when freeing up space!

===If I have issues with my computer, will this update fix them?===

This upgrade is a core operating system update and may not automatically resolve/repair existing issues with your computer. If something is wrong with your system please contact WSU Tech Support before starting this upgrade to ensure your system is running correctly and is ready to be upgraded.

LBarlow1: /* HP BIOS Updates */

{{TOC_Float_Right}}
==What is Software Center?==
Software Center (also known as SCCM) is Winona State University's (WSU) Windows application management framework. SCCM stands for System Center Configuration Manager. Only WSU computers will see WSU's Software Center application. This applies to both Windows desktops, laptops, and any other Windows devices that WSU distributes to end users.

==What Should I Expect to See?==
When Software Center has new software available, a standard notification will appear in the system tray at the lower-right of the screen.

[[File:C--SoftwareCenterUpdateAvailable.PNG]]

Occasionally, not often, WSU will have to push updates that are time sensitive, security related, or address other known problems. In that case, the message may appear a bit differently and may be a bit harder to ignore.

[[File:FallCreatorsUpdateForm.PNG|600px]]

==How is Software Center Used?==
Software Center delivers important updates to WSU computers. All students, staff, and faculty members can use this tool by searching for Software Center in their Windows 10 start menu (lower-left hand corner) or by interacting with the Software Center icon in the system tray (lower-right hand corner).

===Windows 10 Major Version Upgrades===
It is sometimes necessary to upgrade Windows 10 to the next major revision (sometimes referred to as "feature updates" or "named updates") in order to provide the best performance, security, and application compatibility.

*These updates are typically more time consuming and take more reboots than standard monthly Windows Updates.
*Depending on the nature of the update, other components of the computer may be upgraded at this time (BIOS, installed software, etc.)

===BIOS Updates===
BIOS updates modify and upgrade the firmware of the computer. Firmware is the layer that exists between the computer's hardware and software. Hardware --> Firmware --> Software. Keeping BIOS and firmware versions up to date ensures optimal security, health, and performance for all computers, not just Windows PCs.

For WSU's Windows computers, BIOS updates are available via Software Center.

==HP BIOS Updates==

'''Current HP BIOS Versions'''

''Updated 3/13/18''

*HP 840 G1 - 1.43 Rev A
*HP 840 G2 - 1.24 Rev A
*HP 840 G3 - 1.24 Rev A
*HP 1030 G2 X360 - 1.15 Rev A

To see if a BIOS update is available, open Software Center and the select the Applications tab.

Estimated time to completion: 15-20 Minutes

[[File:BIOSUpdateScreen.png|600px]]

If a BIOS update is available, ensure the following prior to installing it:
*The power adapter remains plugged in during the entire process.
*All applications and software are closed.
*All documents are saved and closed.
*The computer can remain undisturbed for 15-20 minutes.

[[File:BIOSUpdateScreen2.png|600px]]

After installing the update, the machine will restart and display the BIOS update screen. It is not necessary to interact with the computer at this point.

[[File:BIOSSettingsUpdateScreen.png|600px]]

The BIOS update will cause the computer to reboot several times. The computer fan may get loud, the computer may emit an audible beep, and several different screens may display during the update.

'''NOTE: Interrupting this process may cause permanent damage to the computer and may result in a loss of data!'''

[[File:BIOSSettingsUpdateScreen2.png|600px]]

Once the BIOS update is complete, the standard Windows login screen appears. At this point, users can log in and use the computer as usual.

Following a BIOS update, there should be no noticeable change to the computer. It's all under the hood!

===Windows 10 Major Version Upgrades===
WSU is proud to advertise that we have nearly no Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 computers on campus anymore. Since the majority of our Windows devices run Windows 10, it is sometimes necessary to upgrade to the next major revision (sometimes referred to as feature updates or named updates) in order to provide the best performance and security.

*These updates are typically more time consuming and take more reboots than the average monthly Windows Updates.
*Depending on the nature of the update, other components of your computer may be upgraded at this time (BIOS, installed software, etc.)

===BIOS Updates===
BIOS updates impact the firmware of the computer. In terms of basic semantics, firmware is the layer that exists between the hardware and software. Hardware --> Firmware --> Software. Your BIOS allows the different parts of your PC to communicate with each other and also tests to ensure that all of the components are functioning correctly. BIOS updates provide the system with updated code to allow the communication, security and health of your PC to be at optimal efficiency.

For the WSU community all windows based mobile device BIOS updates will be available through software center.

==HP Mobile Device BIOS Updates==

All HP mobile devices will have their BIOS updates distributed through software center. To see if you have a BIOS update available for your HP mobile device, open software center and the select the applications tab to see if you have any available.

Estimated Time: 15-20 Minutes

• You have a power adapter connected during the entire process

• All applications and software closed

• All documents are saved and closed

• Your machine is ready to be restarted

[[File:BIOSUpdateScreen2.png]]

After installing the update, your machine will restart and go into the BIOS screen for the Update. At this screen do you not have to enter anything or do anything, it has a countdown for it to continue.

[[File:BIOSSettingsUpdateScreen.png]]

The BIOS update will restart your machine quite a few times with various screens you'll see. It is very important not to interrupt the process to ensure the update completes correctly.

[[File:BIOSSettingsUpdateScreen2.png]]

After the update has completed in the BIOS, you'll be left at the login screen and at this point the BIOS update has completed.

All students, staff, and faculty members can use this tool by searching for Software Center in their Windows 10 start menu (lower-left hand corner) or by interacting with the Software Center icon in the system tray (lower-right hand corner).

===Windows 10 Major Version Upgrades===
WSU is proud to advertise that we have nearly no Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 computers on campus anymore. Since the majority of our Windows devices run Windows 10, it is sometimes necessary to upgrade to the next major revision (sometimes referred to as feature updates or named updates) in order to provide the best performance and security.

*These updates are typically more time consuming and take more reboots than the average monthly Windows Updates.
*Depending on the nature of the update, other components of your computer may be upgraded at this time (BIOS, installed software, etc.)

===BIOS Updates===
BIOS updates impact the firmware of the computer. In terms of basic semantics, firmware is the layer that exists between the hardware and software. Hardware --> Firmware --> Software. Your BIOS allows the different parts of your PC to communicate with each other and also tests to ensure that all of the components are functioning correctly. BIOS updates provide the system with updated code to allow the communication, security and health of your PC to be at optimal efficiency.

For the WSU community all windows based mobile device BIOS updates will be available through software center.

==HP Mobile Device Bios Updates==

All HP mobile devices will have their BIOS updates distributed through software center. To see if you have a BIOS update available for your HP mobile device, open software center and the select the applications tab to see if you have any available.

Estimated Time: 15-20 Minutes

If you have a BIOS update available, and you would like to install the current version you'll need to make sure the requirements below are met prior to installing.

• You have a power adapter connected during the entire process

• All applications and software closed

• All documents are saved and closed

• Your machine is ready to be restarted

==What is Software Center?==
Software Center (also known as SCCM) is Winona State University's (WSU) Windows application management framework. SCCM stands for System Center Configuration Manager. Only your WSU computer will see WSU's Software Center application. This applies to both Windows desktops, laptops, and any other Windows devices WSU distributes.

==What Should I Expect to See?==
When Software Center has new software available, a standard notification will appear in the system tray at the lower-right of the screen. When you see this notification you can choose to interact with it immediately or wait until you have time for it.

-placeholder for screenshot of system tray-

Occasionally, not often, WSU will have to push updates that are time sensitive, security related, or address other known problems. In that case, the message may appear a bit differently and may be a bit harder to ignore.
