Necessary programs for windows 10 - 7, XP. In this article I will tell you about the most necessary programs for Windows 10 - 7. As you probably remember, Windows is not yet ready for use after installation. In principle, not only Windows 7, but also any 8 8.1 xp is not yet ready for work immediately after installation. Even after installing drivers and security settings, there are practically no useful and necessary programs on board your computer. Windows comes with only a few programs that are useful to the user.
These are several toys, the simplest text editor “Notepad”, an advanced text editor “WordPad”, a calculator, an Internet browser (IE-Internet Explorer), a media player, “Paint” - a program for processing simple graphics, programs for PC and OS maintenance. That’s actually all that our favorite OS is rich in. With Windows 10 things are a little better. Microsoft has moved much further. And it included Skype and a student office kit. By the way, the installed IE and media player are also not ready to work. IE is partially unprepared because it can only view text pages and pictures. But the media player is not ready at all, since it needs codecs to play music and videos. Therefore, it is time to install the necessary programs for Windows. The programs that we will consider in this article, I believe, should be installed on almost every computer running Windows 7 - 10. So let's begin.
The most necessary programs for windows 10 - 7
Archivers
1. The very first thing we must install is ARCHIVERS. On the Internet, all programs are compressed or packaged with some kind of archiver. This allows you to waste less disk space for storing information on servers and transmit packets faster over the Internet. Each PC must have at least one archiver, and preferably two. First WinRar- it works very quickly and supports the ability to unzip a large number of different popular archives. And the most important thing is its own, very specific, highly protected Rar format. No one has yet been able to decrypt the passwords set by this archiver. 
Second archiver 7-zip. Perhaps this archiver is even more necessary than the first one. You will need it to unpack archives of the new, rapidly gaining popularity, 7z format. The archiver is very fast and provides a high compression ratio. Most of the archives on the Internet that you will have to download are in zip, rar and 7z format.
If you are working with a website and need to create archives in GZIP format, then the 7-zip archiver will provide compression 2-10% better than any other archiver.
These two archivers will help you solve almost any problem of archiving/unarchiving software packages received from the Internet.
Codecs
2. The second most important thing would probably be the installation of codecs for playing audio and video files of a variety of formats, without which not a single audio/video player will work. Of all the great variety of different collections, perhaps the best, most stable and generally recognized is K-Lite Codec Pack. According to the developers, their brainchild supports about 400 audio/video formats. In addition, this package is absolutely free and contains a small but very high-quality player. Therefore, it would be a sin not to use it. Highly recommend. After installing this codec pack, all your audio/video players will play almost all media file formats.
Adobe Flash Player
3. The next important step is installation Adobe Flash Player. This program is necessary for playing media files in browsers (Internet explorers) such as IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera. It is already built-in in Google Chrome and Yandex browser.
Browsers
4. It will be important to install a whole set of browsers. I recommend installing all the popular ones, these are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Yandex. Why so many? Can I get by with IE (Internet Explorer from Microsoft)? No, you can't do it! Any of the suggested browsers are much better than IE. Firstly, they are increasingly faster, more stable, and make it easy to manage add-ons. Why is it necessary to install everything? The point is that they are all different and have different useful features that IE does not have. Secondly, in the event of an unexpected failure of one browser, you always have another at hand.
Google Chrome integrated with Google translator. When loading foreign pages, it can automatically translate them into Russian. Translation is often sufficient to understand the content of the pages. Google Chrome can download many files at the same time.
Mozilla Firefox It’s simply not replaceable for those who create and debug websites. It has a huge number of different useful add-ons that other browsers do not have.
Opera one of the fastest browsers in the world. This is especially noticeable on slow Internet channels, when it uses multi-threaded downloading of pages and files, and additional compression of information on its server using special algorithms.
Yandex browser development from Yandex. Very similar to Google Chrome and compatible with its add-ons. Has some limitations. The latest versions of this browser are very fast. Overall a good browser.
File download managers
5. Fast, convenient and reliable downloading of files of any size from the Internet will be provided by the download manager Download Master. The program is free, Russian, and practically in no way inferior to paid foreign analogues. Provides multi-channel, fast downloading, and can resume downloading files after a connection break or power outage.
SaveFrom.net application for all popular browsers. Allows you to download videos from more than 20 Internet resources. Very useful application.
Google Chrome has created many obstacles for this application to work. Now SaveFrom.net installs poorly on Google Chrome, but works great from the Internet. Enjoy it for your health. No problems were found on other browsers.
If you only need YouTube to upload videos, then there is a program for this UmmyVideoDownloader. UmmyVideoDownloader is specially designed for downloading videos from YouTube or RuTube. Very comfortable and high quality item. But if you suddenly don’t like it, I suggest another fast Internet service GetVideo. Which also provides a program for Windows.
Programs for audio/video communication
Skype6. To communicate on the Internet you need at least Skype. There are a lot of programs for text, audio, video communication, but most people use Skype and it has features that other programs do not have. So we definitely need to install Skype. Surely you will need it.
Text editors and processors
7. We replace the poorly functional text editor from the Windows package with a more functional one AkelPad or even more advanced Notepad++(HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Notepad++ allows you to work with a large number of documents at the same time. It remembers the situation when turned off and restores it automatically the next time it is turned on. Allows you to follow links directly from the edited text. It is simply irreplaceable for programmers, as it recognizes code from more than 20 programming languages and helps check it for errors. Detects errors in words and highlights them. Having such an editor on every PC is simply necessary.
8. To create documents of different formats and automated tables, you will need an advanced text and spreadsheet processor like Win Word And Win Excel from the Microsoft Office package. MS OFFICE contains many more useful programs. For example, an email client, a presentation manager, a slide show... On the Internet you can find advanced packages with many additions.
File managers
9. A file manager will provide you with convenience in working with files Total Commander. It has great functionality. The menu of the vehicle itself, the menu of necessary or frequently used programs, two independent windows. Each window can open an unlimited number of tabs, has its own FTP manager, archiver, file viewer, media player.... In general, EVERYTHING is at your fingertips! An extremely convenient and useful program. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Programs for viewing PDF files
10. Foxit Phantom required for reading documents in PDF format. The program is 10 times smaller than its Adobe Acrobat counterpart, much faster and, in addition, allows you to edit PDF documents. I recommend. The program itself is paid, but it can be found for free on the Zver-DVD disk image. If you don’t need editing functions and don’t want to upload a huge image, then you can use the free analogue Foxit Reader or PDF Reader. There are a lot of programs in this class, but I think this will be enough.
Programs for removing locked files
11. Unlocker will help you unlock and delete locked files and folders that cannot be deleted in other ways. A couple more programs of this class that support the Russian language: LockHunter, IObit Unlocker. If, when trying to uninstall, you often encounter messages like “Uninstallation is impossible”, “Access denied”, “Used by another application”, “You do not have enough rights” and the like, then these programs will definitely help you.
Programs for downloading files from torrent servers
12. UTorrent- a reliable, fast manager for downloading files from torrent servers. A very convenient and reliable program for downloading music, movies, disk images.... Second program MediaGet Quite new, but has approximately the same functionality. Both programs are free.
Image Viewers
13. FastStone Image Viewer- an excellent, free, small, fast, lightweight program for viewing images, has the ability to edit the image file, add labels to the picture, optimizes the image code... Highly recommend!
Quickly search files on your computer
14. Everything is designed to search for files on your computer. Incredibly fast. Displays search results when you press each letter, like hints when searching on the Internet. Highlights the found combination of letters in the names of files and folders. Displays file paths. Very fast and convenient program. Free.
The necessary programs for Windows described above, in my opinion, are the most important and necessary, and are capable of meeting the needs of a wide variety of users. I believe that these programs, or at least similar ones, should be present on every computer.
Less necessary programs for Windows
Programs for capturing images and videos from the screen
15. - takes screenshots from the monitor screen and captures video. Can record system sound or from a microphone. The program is very small and fast. Has a lot of useful little things. There are quite a lot of programs capable of efficiently performing the operation of capturing video from a monitor screen: Bandicam, HyperCam, ScreenCamera, Techsmith Snagit, UVScreen Camera, VirtualDub. They all have fairly similar functionality.
Programs in this class are all paid. Some of them have demo versions - shareware, severely stripped down with poor functionality, sometimes with inscriptions on the screen that make it difficult to watch the video.
The most important leader in this field is considered to be a highly professional Camtasia Studio. It allows you not only to capture images from the screen, but also to edit the captured videos using various effects.
Text recognition programs
16. If you have a scanner or already scanned documents or images with text, then to convert them into text format you will need a text recognition program. The best of its kind ABBYY FineReader.
Automatic Keyboard Switches
17. For those who write a lot of texts using the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, this will be an excellent assistant Punto Switcher, which automatically switches the keyboard layout based on the words you type and corrects persistent errors. The program is absolutely free, developed by programmers from the Yandex laboratory.
Audio and video players
18. Music and video lovers will need a player that comes with quite rare codecs and is capable of playing recordings from video recorders and surveillance cameras, and also allows you to turn on several copies of the program at the same time, create playlists, adjust the sound timbre and much more.. .. Free.
There are a great variety of players: Daum PotPlayer, AIMP, BSPlayer, GOM Media Player, KMPlayer, iTunes, ComboPlayer, Ace Stream Media, VLC Media Player, 1by1, Media Player Classic Home Cinema, Light Alloy, TV Player Classic, QuickTime Alternative. They have a wide variety of functionality. Any user will be able to satisfy all their needs.
Windows Cleaners/Accelerators/Optimizers
19. useful for quickly and easily cleaning the system from temporary files, unnecessary registry entries, etc... The program does not have the greatest functionality, but it does the minimum required perfectly. Free. There are a great many similar and more powerful programs: Carambis Cleaner, AVG TuneUp, Wise Care 365, Advanced SystemCare, Glary Utilities, Auslogics BoostSpeed, Kerish Doctor, Advanced System Optimizer, System Mechanic, MAGIX PC Check & Tuning. They all have similar, but still different functionality.
If you are very concerned about the cleanliness and reliability of your Windows, then of course any one package will not be enough for you. So, as always, there are functions in other packages that you don’t have. Even just registry cleaners, everyone checks different parts of the registry and sometimes they find something like this... In general, there is a lot to choose from.
To clean the registry, along with other programs, I recommend using trashreg. This is a very small and specific program. Clears the registry of abandoned keys that many demo programs leave on the system. After such cleaning, you can install demo versions again and use their capabilities.
Recovering deleted files
20. is a simple but powerful tool for recovering deleted data. Allows you to restore:
- deleted files and folders;
- files from lost/deleted/damaged partition;
- data from a hard to read CD/DVD;
- digital media data.
I would say the program is very important, but since not everyone needs it, that’s why it’s in the second section. Here are a couple more high-quality, free representatives of similar programs: Recuva, Pandora Recovery. It must be said that there are products with higher functionality, but they are paid: Hetman Partition Recovery, R-Studio, Wondershare Data Recovery.
Graphic editor
21. Adobe PhotoShop- an unsurpassed raster graphics editor. Simply a necessary tool for creating, changing pictures and adjusting photos. 
22. - the best vector graphics processor. Almost irreplaceable in this area. The program is not super necessary, but is necessary for creating scalable vector images.
Programs for creating animation
23. Easi Gif Animator will be needed when creating animated pictures or videos. It has the entire arsenal of functions necessary for this. Free.
Programs for working with disk images
24. Ultra ISO will be needed by those who create images of CD/DVD discs. Works with standard ISO disk image format. Allows you to create and edit simple and bootable disk images. Uses third-party programs to burn discs, such as Burning Rum.
Programs for mounting disk images on a virtual drive
25. Daemon Tools Lite allows you to mount a CD/DVD disk image onto a virtual drive, which makes it possible to see how the image will work on a real drive. The program has a fairly wide functionality: Emulation of IDE drives, Emulation of DT and SCSI drives, Mounting disk images, Creating images of physical disks, Converting and editing images, Burning disks with images, data and music. Allows you to simulate a large number of different disk copy protections. Allows you to run disc games not from a DVD, but from a hard drive, which makes them work much faster. A very useful utility for gamers and those who do not write images to disks, but keep them on the computer. Free.
Postal managers or clients
26. Email clients are perhaps the most important applications in modern human computer life. Most users have several accounts in different email services. To ensure convenient management of all mail flows, mail clients have been created. I will list a dozen well-known, and perhaps the best, of the mass of email clients that are available:
An excellent assistant for those who maintain active Emai correspondence. Allows you to download mail from a huge number of mailboxes and organize it into folders. Has a filter designer and much more.
Ms Outlook included in the Microsoft Office software package. The program is very sophisticated. I would say even too much. But maybe this will all be useful to someone.
Mailbird The program is lightweight, undemanding of resources, easy to use and visually attractive.
eM Client- this email client has all the necessary basic functions.
Inky has a trial version that works for free for 14 days. It has quite extensive capabilities.
Claws Mail A rather complex application is intended for experienced users who are not afraid to configure everything manually.
Zimbra Desktop- free open source email client. Zimbra is a cross-platform solution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.
TouchMail- a convenient email client for owners of tablets or convertible laptops.
Thunderbird from Mozilla is a unique application. The built-in extension system allows you to increase the functionality of the client using numerous tools created by the Thunderbird community.
Programs for reading DjVu files
DjVu27. DjVu- This is one of the formats of scanned documents. It is usually used for storing and distributing books, manuscripts, and magazines in which there are many images, diagrams, drawings, and formulas. And also for storing scans of historical documents, when an accurate representation of the shade and texture of the paper is required, the most reliable display of all defects, page folds, manual marks and corrections, fingerprints, ink blots, etc.
You can view such files using the following programs: WinDjView, ICE Book Reader Professional, Evince Document Viewer, DjvuReader.
Programs for recording and processing sound
28. There are also quite a lot of such programs, but perhaps the best one will be small but powerful. The program works with a mixer built into a personal computer system, as well as external sound sources. It is designed to record audio files of unlimited size.
Allows already recorded files:
- clean from interference: hissing, static noise, hum;
- change volume;
- cut into pieces and assemble as you please;
- and also compress.
The program is used to record and process digital files. As well as digitization of obsolete sound media: records and cassettes. In addition to its own AUP format, it supports a number of popular extensions. In addition to professional functionality, it is also free.
All the necessary programs for Windows 7 - 10 that we reviewed in this article are mentioned in the article "". There is one note, however. Programs present on the ZverDVD disk - earlier versions can be installed on an OS of any bit depth. Many programs located on the "Zver 2016.3 Windows 8.1 Pro x64" or "Zver 2018.5 Windows 10 Enterprise x64" disks have only a 64-bit version. And accordingly, they will not work on 32-bit operating systems.

Still, I finally decided to write this long-awaited article by many readers. As you understand from its name, we will talk below about the best free computer programs, without which I personally cannot imagine my digital life, which have been installed on all my computers for many years and which have never let me down.
There will be few pictures and a lot of different links, but I hope that all of them will be useful to you, so, as they say, don’t switch...
I want to say right away that absolutely all programs described on the website(there are hundreds of them) I like them and I tested (tested) them all personally - this is the main principle of the site.
I'm giving away first place for free computer program f.lux, which helps me maintain my vision for many years when working at the monitor during long evenings and nights. I can’t even imagine what would have happened to my eyes without her help. It eliminates the welding effect from the night screen - it automatically adjusts the color temperature of the monitor (not to be confused with brightness).
This indispensable program works wonderfully in all versions of the operating system, up to Windows 10.
There are also excellent alternatives - also free programs SunsetScreen and (the second one is generally a “bomb”).
You will find several more and no less useful computer programs for maintaining health when working at a computer in the corresponding section of the site "Health and computer"- I kindly ask you to pay attention to them.
Computer security
Virus security now provides my computer completely free antivirus 360 Total Security, which is equipped with five (!) protection algorithms. In addition, it has an excellent digital garbage cleaner and a system optimizer built into it - an original solution from the manufacturers, I should note.
Useful additional information on the website:
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that with proper fine-tuning, any antivirus can become the best for you. For example, for a long time I used the paid ESET Nod32 and the free Avast! Free Antivirus - both of them saved me many times from the invasion of malware.
I can’t keep silent about the free anti-virus scanner Dr.Web CureIt, which I used to bring hundreds of my friends’ and acquaintances’ computers back to life.
I advise you not to forget and about a good firewall(firewall) - it also plays a huge role in ensuring the security of your operating system.
You will find descriptions of other free and effective means of protecting your computer from viruses in the “Security” section of the site.
Programs to speed up your computer
There will be several winners in this category...
Let's start by speeding up the computer startup. Here my leader will be AnVir Task Manager - a powerful manager of tasks, processes, startup, services, a detector and destroyer of viruses, as well as spyware. It was thanks to this magical program (and a couple more tricks) that I was able to speed up computer startup in up to 9.2 seconds- this is my personal record at this point in time (with Windows 7).
There is a section on the site in which I came across many useful articles on this topic.
How can a computer speed up without periodically cleaning it from digital garbage (logs, “tails” of once deleted programs, etc.). Here my reliable and trusted assistant is the legendary “cleaner” CCleaner. This is the longest-running program on my computers - I’ve been using it since the very beginning of my computer life.
More useful additional information on the website:
Besides her there is a whole bunch of great “cleaners”, but CCleaner is my favorite.
After cleaning the system, let's optimize its operation - I consider the Advanced SystemCare program to be the leader in this matter. This is a whole combine that has collected a bunch of useful tweaks and utilities under its roof.
A very convenient and understandable program. It can fully automatically optimize the operation of your computer. There is also a manual mode - you yourself specify what and where to improve in the system.
Described on the site and other great optimizers, for example ToolWiz Care.
I continue to list the best free computer programs that I have been using for many years...
Programs for convenient computer work
There are also a couple of leaders in the nomination...
The most amazing free computer program that has incredibly speeded up and improved my computer work is StrokesPlus. It allows you to control your computer with mouse gestures.
It’s just a magical free program, I’ll tell you - it monstrously optimizes interaction with Windows Explorer. I can't imagine my computer life without it.
There is an alternative to this program - gMote, but I like the first one much more.
I consider Clover to be the second best free program that greatly improves the convenience of working on a computer. It adds tab functionality to Windows Explorer (think browsers). As in the previous case, this greatly increases the speed of folder navigation.
This program works great in Windows 7, but the top ten has a number of questions about it - a similar (but not so simple) utility called QTTabBar helped me out. With its help, I implemented tabs at the bottom of the window and enjoy the convenience.
My favorite browser
I can clearly feel how tense many readers are and are already flexing their fingers. to start the holivar on this topic in the comments to the article. Therefore, I emphasize - PERSONALLY MY FAVORITE BROWSER is Mozilla Firefox.
I’ve been using Google Chrome for a couple of years, I really liked a version of Opera called Vivaldi..., but Fire Fox personally suits me best for its flexibility, functionality and the presence of add-ons for all occasions. In terms of speed, all browsers today are like rockets.
Whatever Internet browser you use, do not forget about best ad cutter. It will save your nerve cells, speed up surfing the web and protect you from clicking on fake links.
Program for automatic driver installation
It is no secret that the fast and high-quality operation of all computer components depends on the availability of up-to-date drivers in the system.
The most convenient, simple, safe and high-quality free computer program that will automatically scan your system at lightning speed, find the best driver versions suitable for your long-suffering computer and update them is Snappy Driver Installer (SDI).
Unique Anti-tick
The list of the best free computer programs is completed by a unique and inimitable utility called Unchecky. This is a real killer of various cunning and subtle ticks for installing additional “useful” software, which unscrupulous software manufacturers implement into their installers.
There are simply no analogues to this computer program. Its beauty is in its simplicity, automatic background work and focus on our market. Just imagine - she herself finds and removes most (not absolutely all) nasty jackdaws when installing programs on a computer!
Many program authors are simply furious with it - they are constantly improving their installers and trying to outwit Unchecky, but it also fights them, updating itself frequently. This is the eternal struggle between good and evil.
That's all for today. Of course, these are not all the best free programs for your computer. I haven't mentioned audio players yet, video players, photo viewers, notebooks... So, the continuation of the article will be - subscribe to the site and be the first to know about its release.
P.S. I really apologize for the many letters and links.
To new useful computer programs and.
USEFUL VIDEO
I'm just reviewing programs! Any complaints - to their manufacturers!
This set provides a list of the most necessary programs that are perfect for installation on a new laptop or device with a new Windows operating system.
Good antivirus protection

To do this, we suggest you use the new, free antivirus solution 360 Total Security, which you can download from a special page on our website.
Multifunctional browser
2 Next, to visit sites on the Internet, you must have an installed, modern browser. There are quite a lot of applications, but each of them is unique in its own way.

This program has all the necessary tools for effective and safe work on the Internet.
Good file archiver
3 After which you can install a shareware archiver. Most files on the Internet are distributed in archived form, and in order to extract content from them, a special program is needed. We recommend that you download the very good WinRAR application and install it as your main tool for working with archives. You can find out more about it and download it by clicking on the button below.
Multimedia
4 To play music and watch videos, we recommend that you pay attention to the KMPlayer player and the AIMP player. By downloading and installing the proposed programs for working with multimedia files, you can easily listen to music and watch any video, without the need to additionally install codecs.
Optimization
5 During the use and installation of additional programs on a laptop, various unnecessary information and records accumulate in the system, which load your computer and significantly slow down its operation. For such cases, we recommend downloading a special utility called CCleaner, a program for cleaning and optimizing the system. With this application, you can easily delete all unnecessary entries and junk files that accumulate during active use of the laptop.
Here are 5 essential programs that should be installed on your laptop. If this list does not satisfy your needs, then you can always use our website and select from the list all those applications that you want to download to your computer.
In this article we decided to collect only the most necessary programs for Windows to your computer or laptop. Applications are divided into groups according to functionality, which are prioritized for installation.
All programs within each group are arranged according to popularity rating, so if you don’t know which program to install, or it doesn’t matter, download the first program in the list.
Antiviruses
Let's assume that you have just installed new Windows on your computer. What program do you think should be downloaded first? Of course, this is an antivirus. Your system is completely clean and vulnerable to viruses, which you can pick up by installing other programs or simply surfing the Internet without it.
Below we have provided a list of the most popular free antiviruses that have a simple and user-friendly interface, and most importantly, good protection.
Browsers
So, we have already installed protection, now you can start downloading other programs. To work on the Internet, a special program is used - a browser.
By default, in the Windows operating system, which is the most popular OS (especially in the CIS), the initial main browser is the well-known Internet Explorer (which is jokingly called the browser for installing browsers) and the newer version of Microsoft Edge, which appeared with the release of Windows 10.
If you are a Windows 10 user, you can basically try Microsoft's Edge browser because... it is made on the Chromium engine and has nothing in common with its predecessor.
But if you want to choose a browser from popular products, here is a list of the best browsers:
Drivers
So, protection and comfort on the Internet are established. Now we can install drivers for the system to activate all the capabilities of our computer, such as a video card, processor, sound card, etc.
Previously, installing drivers included a whole ritual and took a lot of time, because you had to install each driver separately for each PC component using disks, today everything is much simpler.
Modern utilities are able to identify all the necessary drivers for the configuration of your computer or laptop - and automatically install them. Below we have provided a list of the best and most proven programs for installing drivers.
- (drivers for Nvidia video cards).
Torrent clients
