Is there anything I should do to prepare my laptop before bringing it to campus?

Details

  1. If you are a Windows user, make sure your Windows Updates are current.
  2. If you are a macOS user, run Software Update, and apply all needed updates.
  3. Ensure that your machine is protected from viruses by using an anti-Virus client with up-to-date definitions.
  4. Verify that you have all of the necessary software documentation, purchase information, and warranty information. Please bring these to campus with you.
  5. During any transition, it's wise to make backups of any critical data. We recommend a cloud-based backup or storing your files in Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.
