Some applications are not available in the app store. Another common way of getting new software is to download an application from a website and install it. Using the Chrome web browser as an example, download an application installer package and go through the installation.
- [Instructor] There will probably be a time…when you need to install new software…that is not available on the Windows App Store.…In that case, you will probably need to download…and install that application from the web…or install it from an installation drive,…like a DVD disc or a USB stick.…Remember, if you're using Windows 10 S,…or a computer that's been locked…to only install applications from the app store,…then you will not be able to install new applications…from the web or from a disk.…For everybody else, let's look at a typical scenario.…
It's very normal to install a different web browser.…Of course, Windows comes with Edge,…but you might want to install a different browser,…like Firefox or Chrome,…and neither of those are in the app store.…So let's install Chrome from the web.…And to do that, we will just open up Edge to go on the web,…and then find that application.…So just using the search bar up here at the top,…I'll search for Chrome,…and I find a search result here,…so I'm going to click on that.…
