Students and faculty members cannot install Windows 7 according to various tech sites.

“UIS does not support Windows 7 — UIS typically does not support beta versions of any software unless otherwise stated, so UIS will not provide any support of any kind if you choose to install it and encounter any of the above mentioned problems. In fact, Microsoft has stated that it will not even support Windows 7 Beta,” states the University’s Information Services department.

“Installing any beta version of software is extremely risky,” it added.
