This article explains how to add additional software (beyond what comes preinstalled) to your HSE-issued PC (Lenovo, Dell, etc.). Our district automatically supplies each staff and student device with commonly-used programs like Microsoft Word, Zoom, Chrome, and others. For those who need additional programs, the following explains how to add them.
Anything you would add to your PC falls into one of two categories--software that HSE provides and supports, and all other software.

For software that HSE offers, it will be available in Software Center, which is an app already-available on your PC.
Open the app Software Center, which is done in one of the two following ways:
Type 'Software Center' in the search box found at the bottom of your screen on the Start bar.
Click the Start button at the bottom of your screen (either bottom-left or bottom-center depending on version), and click All Apps near the top-right of the box that appears. Locate Software Center.
Once in Software Center, browse for available software in the Applications section within the left pane.
Select the desired program, and click the blue Install button.
HSE Technology will support the installation of and ensure that all software available in Software Center operates normally. We do not support software installed outside of the method outlined above.
You are permitted to install software beyond what is available in Managed Software Center. This can be done by:
Using the Microsoft Store, which may require signing in with a Microsoft consumer account. HSE Technology does not provide you with this type of account and we do not support them in terms of passwords, account recovery, etc.
Downloading directly from a manufacturer’s website or other download location, and following their installation instructions.
