PC Support

Supported PC Software

Software on this list is recommended by the IT Support Services department. We will install, troubleshoot, and provide generalized instruction on use of supported software, and do our best to assist with all the others on the list as well. Software not on this list is subject to support based on technician availability and current workload of ITSS staff, and will be considered a charged-for service for all departments.

Supported PC Hardware

The following specifications have been determined to be the minimally acceptable levels for computing and printing hardware at CSU, Chico for the current academic year. Anything we are asked to service below these levels (both hardware and operating system) will be serviced and supported on a time and materials basis, and may require a CAF.
