How do I install software on my EWU managed Windows computer? (Software Center)
There are several ways to install software on EWU managed Windows computers. EWU IT curates an App store with many productivity and commonly used software packages. The name of the App store will vary according to which image your computer has.
On older computers, the App store is called Software Center. On newer computers, the App store is called Company Portal.
To launch the app, click in the Windows search bar or hit the Windows key and type "Software Center".
Click on the associated icons to launch the App.
Click on Apps at the left menu to view all available apps.
Click on the desired App. In this case, we'll use 7-Zip as an example.
You will see a summary of the App at the next screen with an Install button at the top right. Click Install to proceed.
You will see a Download Pending banner above the application that you're attempting to install.
Depending on the size of the application this process can take several minutes.
Upon completion, you'll see an Installed notification in place the Download pending banner.
The app is now installed and ready to use!
If you wish install applications that are not available in Software Center or Company Portal, you must use Make Me Admin application installed on your Windows PC. EWU IT has a KB article about this process located here: How do I get administrative rights on my PC? How do I use the MakeMeAdmin application on my PC?
