Windows 7 devices will be deactivated starting from 19 July

Microsoft’s support for Windows 7 has finished. This means that if you are still using Windows 7, your PC/laptop may become more vulnerable to security risks, and could expose Monash Health to the risk of a total system outage. 

Starting in mid-July, all remaining Windows 7 devices will be “locked”, removing access to email, USB devices and the internet (web browsers) until they have been upgraded to Windows 10.  By the end of September, all Windows 7 devices will cease to operate on our network.

Windows 7 device lockouts begin from July 2021.

Devices in the asset number ranges below will lose access to Windows 7 in waves from the following dates:
