You need to use the programmer app, it's pretty straight-forward.

I'll do anything to avoid the cryptics of the command line.

Are there any instructions on how to use NRFConnect to install the S110 softdevice onto the NRF51 DK? I recalll having some for the NRF52840 dongle.

Links in the downloadable user guide and documentation give 404s and thus are clearly broken so they are of no help.

Yes, you can.

You can also use nrfjprog directly from the command line: Programming nRF5x SoCs with nrfjprog.

That was not the question

I asked if I could use nrf connect to install the s110 softdevice onto the NRF51 DK. OR do I need yet another tool?

The S110 softdevice only runs on NRF51xxx chips and not on the NRF52840 dongle.

Porting NRF51 projects onto the newer NRF52 SDKs will require some non-trivial changes.
