If you have a Windows 10 PC running Windows 10 S (such as a Surface Laptop), you may notice that it won't install apps from outside the Microsoft Store. Don't worry—that's the way we designed it.
By exclusively running apps from the Microsoft Store, Windows 10 S helps keep your PC running fast and secure and provides peace of mind by removing the risks that come with downloading apps from other places.
I want to use a different browser or search engine.
Microsoft Edge is the default web browser on Windows 10 S, and Bing is the default search engine in Microsoft Edge. You can install any browser available in the Microsoft Store and browse to any other search engine website.
If you want to install a browser (or any other app) not in the Microsoft Store, you'll need to switch to Windows 10 Pro.
An app I really need isn't available in the Microsoft Store. What can I do?
Try checking with an app's publisher for the latest info on when that app is coming to the Microsoft Store.
If you need the app right away, you'll need to switch to Windows 10 Pro to install it.
-->Enroll your macOS device with the Intune Company Portal app to gain secure access to your work or school email, files, and apps.
Organizations typically require you to enroll your device before you can access proprietary data. After your device is enrolled, it becomes managed. Your organization can assign policies and apps to the device through a mobile device management (MDM) provider, such as Intune. To get continuous access to work or school information on your device, you must set up your device to match your organization's policy settings.
This article describes how to use the Company Portal app for macOS to set up and maintain your device so that you meet your organization's requirements.
What to expect from the Company Portal app
During initial setup, the Company Portal app requires you to sign in and authenticate yourself with your organization. Company Portal then informs you of any device settings you need to configure to meet your organization's requirements. For example, organizations often set minimum or maximum character password requirements that you'll be required to meet.
After you enroll your device, Company Portal will always make sure that your device is protected according to your organization's requirements. For example, if you install an app from a source that's not trusted, Company Portal will alert you and might restrict access to your organization's resources. App protection policies like this one are common. To regain access, you'll likely need to uninstall the app.
If after enrollment your organization enforces a new security requirement, such as multi-factor authentication, Company Portal will notify you. You'll have the chance to adjust your settings so that you can continue to work from your device.

Get your macOS device managed
Use the following steps to enroll your macOS device with your organization. Your device must be running macOS 10.12 or later.
Note
Throughout this process, you might be prompted to allow Company Portal to use confidential information that's stored in your keychain. These prompts are part of Apple security. When you get the prompt, type in your login keychain password and select Always Allow. If you press Enter or Return on your keyboard, the prompt will instead select Allow, which may result in additional prompts.
