Microsoft Windows Upgrade to 11 for Personally-Owned Computers

Microsoft Windows 11 upgrade is available as a download to current UB students who have paid the comprehensive fee, and faculty and staff for personally owned devices.

Only upgrades are available, not full installations of Windows operating systems.

Qualifying operating systems under the UB Agreement:

• Apple Macintosh (for use with Boot Camp, Parallels, VMWare, etc.)
• Windows 10

If you build a new computer and it is not loaded with an operating system, you must instead buy a full version of Windows.

Use of this product for system building is prohibited by Microsoft and UB. The Windows Upgrade product is required to be registered and activated to ensure it is legally obtained and installed.
