General Software
Here’s some general purpose software that you might already have installed on your PC at home already.
| Microsoft Office Word, Excel, Publisher, etc. | https://portal.office.com Click Install Office > Office 365 Apps in the top right corner of the page |
| Microsoft Teams | https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app |

| Java NB Install both 32 and 64 bit options | https://www.java.com/en/download/ |
Computer Lab Software
Below is a list of all software installed in the computer labs and on the class sets of laptops. Some of the applications will give you the option to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of software – you only need to install the 64-bit version.
Students of DCG
You can get a free Student version of SolidWorks to install on your computer at home, known as the Student Design Kit (or SDK). This has all the features of the version installed in the labs and comes with a one year license (you can always re-activate this again next year so long as you remain a student of the College).
Please contact your DCG teacher for details on how to download and install it. Please note this is an extremely large download and it is not recommended to download this over a 3G/4G connection – these tend to have extremely low monthly usage allowances with punitive out of allowance charges.
