ESSENTIAL Windows programs you NEED to have

If you’ve just got a new PC or are just using an old one, you ABSOLUTELY NEED these programs.

And they’re all free

Yes

No joke

Seriously

VLC Media Player

If you use media files a lot, VLC is a must have. With it’s simple and clean UI, and powerful features, it’s never gonna run around and desert you.

It also runs on Mac and Ubuntu, too.

7-Zip

If you use ZIP files, forget WinRAR, try 7-Zip! It’s a completely free alternative with most of the same features.

Firefox

Firefox is a browser by the not-for-profit organization Mozilla. It is packed with features and privacy setttings. It’s easy to sync between devices, just make an account and log in on your other devices. It only takes 5 minutes at the most.

Mail and Calendar

Mail for Windows 10 supports all your email accounts, and has great formatting options.

Calendar is a calendar (as you’d expect) and comes with Mail.

Those are my essential Windows apps.
