Please press the windows button  on your keyboard and then type C:\Windows\ccm\scclient.exe and press enter. This will launch Software Center.

Another way to get into this is by pressing the windows button on your keyboard, then type "scclient" in the search bar.. This will also launch Software Center

A third way to get into this is by clicking the Ctrl and R keys simultaneously. You will then type "scclient" and select "OK"
