Microsoft has announced that they will stop giving support to Windows XP in April 2014. This date may be changed.
We do want to remind our users that the IT-department does not offer support to machines that are older than 5 years.


The transition to Windows 7 should therefore not bring any extra costs beyond what is normally used to renew the equipment.

Computers at UiB that are installed with Windows 7, also gets Microsoft newest version of the Office package, version 2010. The graphical user interface has changed a lot from Office 2003 to Office 2010, so it may take some time to get acquainted with the new menus.
The most visible change is that the drop down menus and toolbar has been replaced by something that Microsoft calls ribbon. These ribbons consists of tabs, where related commandos are grouped together. This is meant to give a quick access to, and a better overview over available commandos. You will find these ribbons and tabs is all the Office software.
If you are a frequent user of the Office software (Word, Excel, Outlook, etc) and/or an advanced user, it might be smart to consider    [[https://it.uib.no/IT-oppl%C3%A6ring_ved_UiB|taking a course]] to learn more on the ribbon and the new functions.

There are some changes from Windows XP to Windows, considering how the system is used and which functions are available. The IT-department has therefore created a brochure with information on Windows 7 to new users. [[Medium:Windows_7_informasjon_til_ nye_ brukere.pdf|You can read the norwegian version here]].
