Good day, blog readers.

Each computer user has a standard set of applications that he uses all the time. Someone has 15 utilities, another has 50 - it all depends on the tasks assigned to the client. In the article below, I will present the most necessary programs for a Windows 10 computer, of course, based on personal experience. It should be said right away that the listed solutions are not suitable for everyone, because someone can use analogues or the proposed functionality is simply not needed.

The first application that you need to install on your computer is an antivirus. And one of the most effective today is Comodo Internet Security, AVG AntiVirus Free, Dr Web Cureit or Emsisoft Internet Security. The program is able to find and neutralize all currently known malware.

Application can free download. To ensure complete security, there are two well-written cores and three levels of protection at once.

EIS constantly monitors the operation of programs on the device, analyzes their behavior, and looks for the presence of malicious components.

A firewall function is built in, which will help protect against attacks while connecting to a network, including the Internet.

In addition, it must be said that the application does not provide for the constant updating of signatures, which is usually annoying in such solutions. However, the project requires much less RAM to run.

Total Commander( )

The most famous file manager. It provides a lot of useful functions, each of which will greatly facilitate the work at the computer. So, for example, users have access to elements that allow you to view pictures, archive and unpack data, quickly transfer, copy or delete files. In addition, there is the possibility of encoding, as well as cutting volumetric data.

AIDA64( )

A handy program for the tenth version of Windows, which shows users all the necessary information regarding everything that happens with a PC. So, for example, everyone can find out the status of the operating system, connected devices, and much more.

At the same time, the application is considered one of the best for optimizing the operation of the operating system. Here you can find everything you need to check the performance and performance of the unit.

It is important to note that the free program interacts with a large number of devices - more than 140. It is able to monitor the temperature of the connected components to the system, the rotation speed of coolers, the operation of the processor, motherboard, and much more.

PROMT Professional 11( )

The utility is considered one of the best translators today. It is simply indispensable if you constantly meet with foreign languages. Application developers guarantee high-quality translation, regardless of the complexity of the text. The desired result can always be achieved thanks to a constantly updated database and the use of modern technologies. To work, you only need to install it on your computer, and you can immediately use it, regardless of other factors.

Glary Utilities 5( )

A software product that consists of many tools designed to clean your PC from excess garbage. So, for example, users will be able to finally say goodbye to deleted documents, irrelevant entries in the system registry, and much more. The application allows you to customize the browser, find and delete the same files, defragment disks with high quality, archive data, check and restore system files.

The application first appeared on the market a long time ago. For all the time of its existence, the developers have received a lot of world-class awards and only positive reviews regarding their offspring.

Adobe Flash Player( )

This plugin must be installed on all computers. And if it's not there yet, it's time to go to official site or torrent tracker. It allows you to watch the best quality videos, create applications, presentations and more. Most importantly, the program is simply necessary for games that can only be used via the Internet.

Usually the application is installed first after a clean installation of the operating system. It is this player that is used on many resources as the main one for playing videos. It is especially in demand in the field of advertising and entertainment.

Interesting to know! The developers claim that installing their product will help to deal with many problems associated with Skype.

Standard Codes( )

An excellent set of codecs for video playback. A small addition is directly sewn into Windows 10 - this allows you to optimize the system as much as possible.

The pack contains all the necessary tools to play not only the video available on the computer, but also from the Internet. At the same time, it is possible to change installed components or update them.

Great for supporting streaming in any browser.

It is worth noting that there are no tools that are separately used to play audio files.

The utility can be safely called necessary, since today there are many different file formats. And without certain add-ons, not everyone will be able to run them.

J. Rover Media Center( )

The application is a real multimedia center capable of working with DVDs, playing *.mp3, converting CDs into the format you need for your computer. In addition, the program will even help you rewrite tape cassettes and records to a hard drive.

The utility will please with a mass of convenient elements. So, for example, a good file organizer, editor, equalizer are registered here. There is also an automatic recording and playback function. It even has remote control technology.

Destroy Windows 10 Spying( )

The program is considered the best today in the issue of calculating and removing spyware. It is able to open all possible Microsoft reports. In addition, the utility perfectly deals with all the services that have already managed to collect personal information or any statistics about you.

The project also allows you to turn off some unused applications in Windows 10. And most importantly, it is with the help of it that you can say goodbye to ads in Skype.

DWS works on systems with any bit depth - both 32 and 64 bits. Everyone can understand the management - the utility has an intuitive interface.

The Bat( )

Convenient and popular mail application. It has the most simple and at the same time functional interface that allows you to do everything that is possible with mail.

Comparing with other similar services, this one stands out with a lot of additional settings, constant updates.

It is worth noting the support of seventeen languages ​​​​at once - Russian is also provided. That is why the program is so popular all over the world.

There are mail sorting tools, including protection against spam and malicious messages.

Google Chrome( )

One of the most popular browsers in the world today. It is highly optimized to work on any device. True, some users complain about the use of a large amount of free RAM.

It is worth noting the convenient management of bookmarks and all saved passwords. It is enough to install the same program on a mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone, and enter your user data.

As a result, you will have all the necessary information at the same time on all devices. This is especially convenient when users move around a lot and do not always have access to a PC.

ACD See( )

A convenient program for opening and simple processing of pictures. Supports interaction with a variety of formats. In this case, the resolution can be any.

Everyone will be able to view the photo, if necessary, crop, resize. In addition, there are a lot of filters that allow you to process images in various ways, including creating a negative, paintings, and so on.

Well, I hope this review will help you decide what to install on your computer. From personal experience, I can say this - it is better to post only what you will definitely use. For example, there was a need to play a video - a player was installed. Otherwise, applications will appear on the computer that will simply clog the hard drive, which does not have a very good effect on the operation of the device.

You do not always have to pay for high-quality, useful and functional software - many programs for a variety of everyday purposes are distributed completely free of charge. Free programs can help you perform a wide variety of tasks, keeping up noticeably behind their paid counterparts. The review has been updated as of 2017-2018, new system utilities have been added, and also, at the end of the article, some entertainment things.

In this article - about the best in my opinion and completely free useful programs that can be useful to every user. Below, I deliberately do not indicate all possible good programs for each of the goals, but only those I have chosen for myself (or ideally suited for a beginner).

Previously (before 2018) I indicated Media Player Classic as the best media player, but today my recommendation is the free VLC Media Player, available not only for Windows, but also for other platforms, supporting almost all common types of media content (has embedded codecs).

With it, you can easily and conveniently play video, audio, including via DLNA and from the Internet

WinSetupFromUSB and Rufus to create a bootable USB (or multiboot)

CCleaner to clean your computer from garbage

Perhaps the most popular free program to clean the registry, temporary files, cache and more on your Windows. There is a built-in uninstaller and other useful tools. The main advantage, in addition to efficiency, is ease of use even for a novice user. Almost everything can be done automatically and it is unlikely that anything will be spoiled.

XnView MP for viewing, sorting and editing photos easily

Earlier in this section, Google Picasa was listed as the best photo viewer, but the company has stopped developing this software. Now, for the same purposes, I can recommend XnView MP, which supports more than 500 photo and other image formats, simple photo cataloging and editing.

Every second Russian-speaking user, of course, is a Photoshop master. By hook or by crook, he installs it on his computer in order to crop the photo one day. Is it necessary if the graphic editor only needs to rotate the photo, place the text, combine a couple of photos (not for work, but just like that)? Do you do any of the above in Photoshop, or is it just installed?

According to my estimates (and I have been using Photoshop in my work since 1999), most users do not need it, many do not use it at all, but want it to be, and have been planning for several years to one day learn how to work in this program. In addition, by installing unlicensed versions, you not only suffer, but also take risks.

Need an easy-to-learn and high-quality photo editor? Paint.net would be a great choice (of course, some would say that Gimp would be better, but hardly easier). Until you decide to do some really professional photo editing, you won't need more features than the free Paint.net has. You may also be interested in the ability to edit photos and pictures online, without installing programs on your computer:.

Windows Movie Maker and Windows Movie Maker

What novice user does not want to make a great family home on a computer, containing videos from a phone and a camera, photos, superimposed music or captions? And then burn your movie to disk? There are many such tools: . But, probably, the best simple and free program (if we talk about a completely novice user) for this would be Windows Movie Maker or Windows Movie Maker.

There are many other video editing programs out there, but this is one that can be used right away without any preparation. .

Data recovery software Puran File Recovery

On this site, I wrote about a variety of data recovery programs, including paid ones. I tested each of them in different work scenarios - with a simple deletion of files, formatting or changing the partition structure. The popular Recuva is very simple and easy to use, but it only succeeds in simple cases: when recovering deleted data. If the scenario is more complex, for example, formatting from one file system to another, Recuva does not work.

Of the simple free data recovery programs in Russian that have shown the best efficiency, I can single out Puran File Recovery, the recovery result in which is perhaps better than in some paid counterparts.

AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes Antimalware programs to remove malware, Adware and Malware

The problem of malicious programs that are not viruses (and therefore antiviruses do not see them), but cause unwanted behavior, for example, pop-up ads in the browser, the appearance of windows with unknown sites when opening the browser, has been very relevant lately.

In order to get rid of such malware, the AdwCleaner utilities (and it works without installation) and Malwarebytes Antimalware are ideal. As an additional measure, you can try .

Aomei Partition Assistant to Partition Disk or Enlarge C Drive

When it comes to programs for working with disk partitions, most advise paid products from Acronis and the like. However, those who have ever tried a free analogue in the form of Aomei Partition Assistant are satisfied. The program can do everything related to working with hard drives (and at the same time it is in Russian):

• Restore boot record
• Convert disk from GPT to MBR and vice versa
• Change the structure of partitions in the way you need
• Clone HDD and SSD
• Work from a bootable flash drive
• Convert NTFS to FAT32 and vice versa.

In general, a really convenient and perfectly working utility, although I myself usually treat such software in a free version with skepticism. You can read more about this program in the manual.

Evernote and OneNote for taking notes

In fact, those who store notes and a variety of information in various notebook programs may not prefer Evernote, but other versions of such software.

However, if you have not done this before, I recommend starting with Evernote or Microsoft OneNote (recently completely free for all platforms). Both options are convenient, ensure that notes are synchronized across devices, and are easy to understand, regardless of the level of experience. But even if you need some more serious features to work with your information, most likely you will find them in these two programs.

7-Zip - archiver

If you need a convenient and free archiver that can work with all common types of archives - 7-Zip is your choice.

The 7-Zip archiver works quickly, is conveniently integrated into the system, easily unpacks zip and rar archives, and, if necessary, packs something with one of the highest compression ratios among programs in this category. Cm. .

Ninite to set it all up quickly and cleanly

Many are faced with the fact that when installing even the right program, and even from the official site, it installs something else that is no longer so necessary. And from what then it can be problematic to get rid of.

This can be easily avoided, for example, by using the Ninite service, which helps you download pure official programs in their latest versions and avoid something else appearing on your computer and browser.

Ashampoo Burning Studio Free for burning CDs and DVDs, creating ISO images

Despite the fact that it is now less and less common to write something to discs, disc burning programs may still be relevant for someone. I personally like it. And it is not necessary to have any Nero package for these purposes, a program such as Ashampoo Burning Studio Free is quite suitable - it has everything you need.

Details about this and other disc burning software:

Browsers and Antiviruses

But I won’t write about the best free browsers and antiviruses in this article, because every time I touch on a topic, those who are dissatisfied immediately appear in the comments. It doesn't matter which of the programs I called the best, there are almost always two reasons - it slows down the system and special services (ours and not ours) are watching us through them. I will note only one material that may be useful:.

So on this point it will be brief: almost all browsers and free antiviruses that you hear are quite good. Separately, we can note the browser that appeared in Windows 10. It has its drawbacks, but perhaps this is the Microsoft browser that will be popular with many users.

Additional programs for Windows 10 and 8.1

With the release of new Microsoft systems, programs that change the Start menu to the standard one from 7, various utilities for decoration and more have gained particular popularity. Here are some of them you might find useful:

• Classic Shell for Windows 10 and 8.1 - allows you to return the Start menu from Windows 7 to new operating systems, as well as flexibly customize it. Cm. .
• - work in 8-ke, and are standard gadgets from Windows 7 that can be placed on the desktop 10-ki.
• - a program for automatically fixing Windows errors (and not only the 10th version). It is noteworthy that it contains the most common problems that users experience and you can fix them either by pressing a single button, or see instructions on how to do it manually right in the program. Unfortunately, only in English.

And finally, one more thing: standard games for Windows 10 and 8.1. For more than 10 years, our users have become so accustomed to Klondike and Spider solitaire, Minesweeper and other standard games that their absence or even just a change in the interface in the latest versions is perceived by many as painful.

But it's okay. This can be easily fixed - (works in 8.1 too)

Something else

I did not write about some other programs, which will not be of particular use to most of my readers, since their use is required only for a relatively narrow range of tasks. Therefore, there is no Notepad ++ or Sublime Text, FileZilla or TeamViewer and other things that I really need. Also did not write about obvious things, such as Skype. I will also add that when downloading free programs somewhere, it is worth checking them on VirusTotal.com, they may contain something not quite desirable on your computer.

The Windows 10 operating system has installed free programs, which become more and more over time. And, besides, not all PC users know what kind or type this or that program belongs to. So let's deal with this. Most of the Windows 10 programs that we have on our computer are those that we install ourselves. And the rest were installed along with the operating system. So, let's begin.

Required programs Windows 10

This type of program is installed with the operating system, such as anti-virus programs, browsers, file downloaders, Internet communication programs, and convenient email clients. This is the smallest part of free internet programs, which, according to the developer of the operating system, everyone uses, and which are the most necessary programs for Windows 10 on a computer. Their circle also includes all the games that are installed on the operating system as standard. And besides, the BIOS is also a standard program, although it and the operating system are different types of software.

Useful programs for Windows 10

These include drivers, programs for recovering deleted files, programs for working with a hard disk, remote computer control and utilities that help the computer work correctly, and also serve to connect various devices (flash drives, mice, keyboards, 3G modems, joysticks and much more). other). There are also utilities that are not very necessary, but without them the computer will someday stop functioning correctly. Such utilities include antiviruses, archivers, computer diagnostic programs, and so on. Software for Windows 10 is used to debug the operation of a PC or its individual nodes, without which it cannot work.

Application programs

These are the programs that the user installs himself. They perform only those functions that the user needs. These programs are designed for editing, such as audio editors, video editors, audio and video converters, codecs. There are also editors for storing and processing text information, as well as photo and video files. This type of program has its subspecies.

Subtypes of application programs

• Office - these programs are used to edit, store and create various text and graphic files that the user needs. Most often, such programs are released as a package for the user. This package includes programs that are different in function, but the same in value. This is a way of providing programs that is very convenient for both the manufacturer (it is easier to develop them) and the user (very cheap).
• Financial - these programs were specially developed for various companies and enterprises. As the name suggests, these programs help keep accounting records, as well as help companies store, edit and create various accounting and financial information.
• Games are programs that have been developed specifically for entertainment purposes.

We are glad to see you on our resource: communicate, leave feedback, and any visitor to the site can download programs for Windows 10 for free!

Instead of Windows 8.1, Microsoft has prepared a new version of the operating system for its users. The peculiarity of this system is that it is designed not only for desktop computers, but also for smartphones, XBox One consoles, tablets and other devices.

The company offers its users not to download Windows 10 for free, but simply to update their old versions. And every third, using before Windows 7, took the risk of taking such a step. And I didn't guess.

In fact, Windows 10 is a mix of the best practices that the company has combined in one operating system. So we can safely talk about the quality of the operating system, which is characterized by high performance. She borrowed this parameter from Windows 7, the interface was taken from the eighth version of the OS (however, there was still room for some updates, which primarily affected the main Start button and toolbar). You can download Windows 10 to your computer for x86-bit and x64-bit systems.

Functional

What will please us with this software? It contains:

• Cortana personal assistant. This assistant has artificial intelligence.
• The Start menu gives you quick access to the programs and documents you use frequently.
• Virtual desktops. In this version of the program, you can create several desktops, configuring each of them for quick access to the applications you need.
• Microsoft Edge browser. It was created literally from scratch. At the same time, new engines appeared, as a result of which this product has a high page processing speed. Captivating and clear interface.
• Biometric authentication. The system, installed on devices that have cameras, will allow you to gain access by scanning biometrics. Accepts fingerprints, iris or face.
• A more modern Windows Defender that interacts with the cloud-based Microsoft Active Protection Service and works in real time.
• Application traffic control.
• Simplified work with windows.
• DirectX 12 support.

System requirements

If your computer runs Windows 7 or 8 without any problems, then you can update the versions and get to know the 10th version better. At the same time, during the update, you can not worry about the safety of your files.

As a rule, more than 1 GB of RAM for a 32-bit system and 2 GB for a 64-bit version will be enough for you to work.

The hard drive must have more than 16 GB. If you have only 17 GB, then most likely after you download updated versions of Windows 10 for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1, you will not be able to install anything on drive C.

You will also need a 1 GHz processor or higher. And if earlier there were problems when installing on Core 2 Duo, now this problem is solved.

The video card must support DirectX 9.0c. If the version is lower, then this may cause problems.

Microsoft account and Internet access required.

Program installation

If you already have a license for Windows 10 and you are going to update versions 7 or 8.1, then first make sure that the computer meets the system requirements.

It doesn't hurt to visit the computer manufacturer's website to find out all about updated drivers and hardware compatibility.

Windows 10 and Android

Many users still decided to download Windows 10 in Russian for smartphones. However, here you need to know that there are many dozens of emulators. Of course, all of them will not be a full-fledged version, but if all you need is copying the interface of dozens, then they will do their job quite well.

In order to install the full version of Windows, you will need to completely reflash the device. And with this, inexperienced users may have problems, since not all processor chips support the Microsoft product. Only processors with ARM architecture and i386 will not have problems.

Another point to consider is that this operating system will take up much more space on your smartphone than the Android OS. Therefore, it is worth thinking carefully about the feasibility of such changes.

However, there is an option when you can install Windows without flashing, but by overlaying one system on another. So, you will need to download the sdl.zip archive and the special sdlapp program, which is presented in the .apk format.

After that, the application is installed on the smartphone, and the data is extracted to the SDL folder. The system image file is also copied here in the future.

Now it remains only to run the Installation Wizard and wait for the process to be completed.
