You should’t use Windows. It’s non-free (as in freedom), bloated spyware made to make computers as miserable as possible only used by corperate-slave boomers who delusionally believe it’s good because some debt-based billionaire lied saying so once. However, if you are forced to use it for whatever reason, or know someone who dogishly refuses to install & use Linux, this short list of programs may prove useful.
First, remove Microsoft spyware & other pre-installed jokes of programs with Windows 10 Debloater. Then move onto installing the real, useable programs below.
Programs
- 7zip – Archiver
- Notepad++ – Text Editor
- JPEGView – Image Viewer
- MPV – Media Player
- MuPDF – Document Viewer
- GIMP – Media Editor
- CCleaner(!) – System Cleaner
- BleachBit — System Cleaner
(!) Non-free, propietary.
