1. Install a program
Introduction: You can do a lot with the programs and features included in Windows, but you might
want to install other programs. How you add a program depends on where the installation files for
the program are located. Typically, programs are installed from a CD or DVD, from the Internet,
or from a network.
To install a program from a CD or office 2010 DVD
Insert the disc into your computer, and then follow the instructions on your screen. If you’re
prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.
Many programs installed from CDs or DVDs open an installation wizard for the program
automatically. In these cases, the AutoPlay dialog box appears and you can choose to run the
wizard.
If a program doesn’t begin installation automatically, check the information that came with the
program. This information will likely provide instructions for installing the program manually. If
you can’t access the information, you can also browse through the disc and open the program
setup file, usually called Setup.exe or Install.exe.
To install a program from the Internet
1. In your web browser, click the link to the program.
2. Do one of the following:
To install the program immediately, click Open or Run, and then follow the instructions on your
screen. If you’re prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or
provide confirmation.
To install the program later, click Save, and then download the installation file to your computer.
When you’re ready to install the program, double-click the file, and then follow the instructions on
your screen. This is a safer option because you can scan the installation file for viruses before you
proceed.
Note
When downloading and installing programs from the Internet, be sure you trust the publisher of
the program and the website that’s offering the program.
To install a program from a network

programs that you can add, you can install programs from Control Panel.

clicking Programs and Features, and then, in the left pane, clicking Install a program from the
network.

confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
