You have to ask your IT manager. On many companies, staff are not allow to change, install, add .... hardware or software on company's machines.
I worked for a company which has at least 3,500 IT related staff in India (Bengaluru/Bangalore - may be more now) many of them have company's notebooks. They are not allowed to alter all machines, they can't even copy files to USB drives.
Regards.
