The Software Center contains software downloads for University approved software available to all customers of the OIT Managed Desktop Service for their university computers. These instructions are for Windows machines only.

Step 1

Search for “software center” on your machine.

In Windows 10
Type software in the search box and open Software Center to start the program.

Step 2

Under the Applications tab, double-click the software you would like to install onto your machine and then click Install.

The selected program(s) will begin the downloading and installation process, which may take some time.

Once the installation is finished, “Installed” will display under the status for the completed installation. If you are installing multiple programs at once, wait for all programs to display the “Installed” status.

NOTE: When a new version of the Windows operating system is released you will find it under the Operating Systems tab. You may upgrade at your leisure before the mandatory deadline when it will be automatically installed.
