County approves purchase of computers and peripherals to prepare for Windows 11 upgrade
Summary
Board approved purchase of approximately 200 Dell computers, 200 laptops, 600 monitors and 200 docking stations from capital improvement funds to replace Windows 10 machines ahead of support end‑of‑life.
Henry County commissioners on Aug. 19 approved a technology purchase to replace aging Windows 10 devices and prepare county workstations for Windows 11. Technology staff requested approval to purchase "approximately 200 Dell computers, 200 laptops, 600 monitors, and 200 docking stations" and said the purchase will be funded from capital improvement funds.
Staff told the board that Microsoft will end security support for Windows 10 in October and the equipment purchase is intended to replace machines that cannot be upgraded to Windows 11 and to maintain security compliance. A motion and second were recorded and the chair announced the motion carried.
Discussion vs. decision: staff presented the security rationale and the board approved the purchase; no vendor, contract vehicle or final invoice amounts were provided in the transcript and no deployment schedule was stated.
