Microsoft Office Upgrade Experience

Standard Workstation

See below for Outlook Office 2010 to Outlook Office 365 (2016) upgrade experience.

1. If you have a standard desktop computer and you are on the VUMC Employee wireless network when the upgrade occurs, you will receive a pop-up on your monitor. It will only stay on your screen for a few moments.
