Microsoft Store provides you with access to range of free and paid applications that you can install without the need for input from IT Services.

The store contains both free and paid applications. By default, you do not require to have Microsoft Account to download free applications, but you will be prompted to sing in to the store the first time you attempt to download a free application.
