Important Information

Microsoft has stopped the official support for Windows 10

Date: 24.10.2025
Expected Duration: approximately 6 months
Status In progress


The University of Bern has asked us to upgrade all devices with Windows 10 to the newest Windows version (Windows 11). For that please get in contact with the IT DBMR Support Request Form Form on the DBMR-Homepage or in the signature below. 

Important: Back Up Your Data

We strongly recommend backing up your data before upgrading. You can use OneDrive for your personal Office files. For larger research data, we recommend using the Campus Storage or Research Storage provided by your research group. Alternatively, you may use external hard drives or Network Attached Storage (NAS) solutions, such as Synology or similar systems, for local backups.

  • The installation of Windows 11 will delete all programs and apps on your device.
  • The installation process takes at least one working day to complete.

Make more of your workday – with Microsoft Teams.

Big ideas happen when people collaborate well. That’s exactly what the University of Bern’s Teams training is all about. Two compact sessions where you’ll learn how to simplify communication, co-edit documents, and turn meetings into real collaboration.
It’s practical, dynamic, and immediately useful.

Because those who truly understand Teams don’t work harder — they work smarter. Sign up and get started.
