Question
How do I install software myself on my University Windows 10 PC? What software is available to me through the Software Center?
Overview
Important: This guide is intended for university-managed devices only and does not apply to personal devices.
Software Center is a pre-installed application on UM-Dearborn managed PCs. It facilitates the easy installation of various software applications, such as the Global Protect VPN client, Greenshot, GIMP, and Adobe software, without requiring administrative privileges.
This application is exclusively available on University Imaged devices. For personal devices, users will need to manually download and install the necessary software.
Process
1. Search for the Software Center program in your Start Menu. You can also find it on your Desktop.
2. Once you open Software Center, you'll be presented with a growing catalog of available software.
3. Clicking on any of the software tiles will show more information, such as estimated time and download size.
4. To install the software, click on the Install button and wait for the installation to complete. Once complete, the Install button should change to Uninstall and the Status should change to Installed. With that, the software is installed and you're all set!
