Windows
Boston College has a campus agreement to upgrade Windows if you already own a version of Windows (for BC faculty, staff, and students).
Information Technology Services (ITS) highly recommends that you get assistance with upgrading your computer.
- Students: We can assist students who bring their upgrade CDs and laptops to the Walk-In Help Desk. We can also install free upgrades to Windows 7 Enterprise (similar to Windows 7 Professional edition), Windows Vista Enterprise (similar to Vista Business edition), or Windows XP Professional.
- Faculty and Staff: Talk to your TC about upgrading Windows on your BC-owned computer.
