On a “clean” newly installed Windows, for normal operation, it is simply necessary to install many more programs, because without them, as you understand, there is nowhere. Let's try to compile a small list of the most necessary programs for a computer, without which, the full use of a computer is simply impossible. Please note that in the article, in the description of any program there is a link to its working version
So...

The most necessary and important program is your anti-virus protection.Usually it is divided into 4 categories: antivirus, firewall, comprehensive protection and computer scanning programs. I prefer complex protection consisting of antivirus + firewall. At the moment I use one of the free ones - Avast! I would recommend using only the most proven antivirus programs: Kaspersky, Norton, ESET(nod32), DrWeb, Avast, Panda, McAfee and other popular ones. In general, a matter of taste. If you don't want to pick up some Trojan, be sure to install it!

Next, install the archiver. Since most files on the Internet are in archives (.rar .zip .7z), we will definitely need an archiver program. I suggest using two at the same time: WinRar and 7Zip.
Their differences can be described in one line: winrar- a beautiful and advanced archiver, but with 7zip it's free. Well, as a bonus - only the archiver 7zip opens .7z format archives

Next on the list we will have disc burning software(although in recent years I have begun to doubt its necessity more and more ... I use disks once every 3 months). dominates here Nero, the most popular program for burning discs (few people are confused by the fact that it is paid). As a free alternative I can advise ImgBurn or shareware Ashampoo Burning Studio- the functionality is smaller, but for its main task - recording discs, it is more than enough.

Further... we need Office. And most likely - Microsoft office(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, etc.). I think you should not paint - you yourself know perfectly well what it is. For lovers of free software, I can advise open office or even better libreoffice- they are almost as good as the brainchild of Microsoft, and they work with Microsoft formats without problems.

Now we will consider codecs. What is this thing for? And so that when watching your favorite movie, you, dear readers, do not have any problems. Without them, many video and audio formats simply won't play! Most Popular Codec Pack - K-Lite Codec Pack. By the way, a very good video player is installed with it - Media Player Classic.

Video viewer essential for any PC user. Even if you have a brand new home theater, you often have to watch a variety of videos on your computer - from clips to video seminars. This task is excellent KMPlayer and Quick Time Player.

We listen to music- Using the standard Windows Media Player, it’s simply impossible to listen to music, no matter how hard the developers try ... 2 of the most popular players are suitable for this purpose: winamp and AIMP. The second player consumes less resources, and besides, it's free. But even here it is a matter of taste and habit. For example, I use two.

I will also advise universal players which both video and audio files are read without problems: GOM Media Player and VLC media player- they read all formats and by the way they are completely free!

We must not forget that we need .pdf file reader. In this format, many books, articles, and other literature are published. Here I recommend Fox Reader, as a replacement for a cumbersome (and even, as it were, paid) monster adobe reader. You may need Adobe Photoshop and view photo albums ACDsee Pro

Text recognising- here is the best program, of course ABBYY FineReader, however, there are free analogues, for example CuneiForm

Don't forget about utilities to keep your system clean - Uninstall Tool and CCleaner. As a result, we have an extensive list of programs - and at least two dozen of them will definitely come in handy for you...

Necessary programs for windows 10 - 7

Hello Readers of my blog! 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 work after installation. In principle, not only Windows 7, but also any 8 8.1 xp immediately after installation is not yet ready for work. Even after installing drivers and security settings, there are practically no useful and necessary programs on board your computer. There are only a few useful programs for the user in the Windows kit.

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 servicing PC and OS. That's actually all that our favorite OS is rich in. With Windows 10, things are a little better. Microsoft has come a long way. And it included Skype and a student office suite. By the way, the installed IE and the media player are not ready for work either. IE is partially unprepared, as it can only view text pages and pictures. And the media player is not ready at all, since it needs codecs to play music and video. 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 start.

The most necessary programs for windows 10 - 7

Archivers


1. The very first thing we need to install is the ARCHIVERS. On the Internet, all programs are compressed or packaged by some kind of archiver. This allows you to spend less disk space for storing information on servers and transfer packets faster over the Internet. Each PC must have at least one archiver, and preferably two. First winrar- it works very fast and supports the ability to unzip a large number of various popular archives. And the most important is its own, very specific, highly protected Rar format. The passwords set by this archiver have not yet been decrypted by anyone.

Second archiver 7zip. Perhaps this archiver is even more necessary than the first. You will need it to unpack archives of the new, rapidly gaining popularity, 7z format. The archiver is very fast, while providing 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 site and you need to create GZIP archives, then 7-zip archiver will provide compression 2-10% better than any other archiver.

These two archivers will help you solve almost any task of archiving / unarchiving software packages received from the Internet.

Codecs

2. The second most important will probably be the installation of codecs for playing audio and video files of various formats, without which not one audio / video player works. 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 is 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 to install Adobe Flash Player. This program is required to play media files in browsers (internet explorers) such as IE, Mozilla Firefox, Opera. It is already built into 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 IE (Microsoft's Internet Explorer) be dispensed with? No, you can't do it! Any of the suggested browsers is 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 fact 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 contents of the pages. Google Chrome can download many files at the same time.

Mozilla Firefox simply indispensable 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 browser in the world. This is especially noticeable on slow Internet channels, when it uses a lot of threading for downloading 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.

For all these browsers there is a great add-on Neiron Search Tools- this extension provides the ability to simultaneously search for information on the Internet through Google and Yandex, and a convenient joint output of search results. Search with this application becomes much more efficient. I strongly recommend to use.

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, practically in no way inferior to paid foreign counterparts. Provides multi-channel, fast download, able to resume files after disconnection or power outage.

SaveFrom.net application for all popular browsers. Allows you to download videos from more than 20 Internet resources. A very useful app.

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. Use on health. No issues found on other browsers.

If you only need YouTube to upload videos, then there is a program for such a thing. UmmyVideoDownloader. UmmyVideoDownloader is specially designed for downloading YouTube videos. Very comfortable and quality item.

Programs for audio / video communication

6. 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 skype must be installed. You will probably need it.

Text editors and processors

7. A little functional text editor from the Windows package is replaced with a more functional one AkelPad or more advanced Notepad++(HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Notepad++ allows you to work with a large number of documents at the same time. Remembers the situation when you turn it off and restores it automatically the next time you turn it on. Allows you to follow links directly from the edited text. For programmers, it is simply not replaceable, since it recognizes the code of more than 20 programming languages ​​and helps to check it for errors. Detects mistakes in words and underlines them. The presence of such an editor on each PC is simply necessary.

8. To create documents of different formats and automated tables, you will need an advanced word processor and spreadsheet such as win word and win excel from the Microsoft Office package. The MS OFFICE package contains many more useful programs. For example, an email client, a presentation manager, a slideshow... On the Internet, you can find advanced packages with many add-ons.

File managers

9. The 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. In each window, you can open an unlimited number of tabs, have your own FTP manager, archiver, file viewer, media player .... In general, EVERYTHING is at hand! Extremely convenient and useful program. Highly recommend to everyone!

Programs for viewing PDF files

10. Foxit Phantom required to read PDF documents. The program is 10 times smaller than its analogue Adobe Acrobat, much faster and, in addition, allows you to edit PDF documents. Recommend. The program itself is paid, but it can be found for free on the Zver-DVD disc image. If you do not need editing functions and do not want to upload a huge image, then you can use the free analogue Foxit Reader or PDF Reader. There are a lot of programs of 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 delete, you often encounter messages like “Uninstallation is not possible”, “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- reliable, fast manager for downloading files from torrent servers. A very convenient and reliable program for downloading music, movies, disk images.... The second program mediaget fairly new, but has about the same functionality. Both programs are free.

Image Viewers

13. FastStone Image Viewer- excellent, free, small, fast, lightweight image viewer, has the ability to edit the image file, overlay captions on the picture, optimize the image code ... Highly Recommend!

Quick search for files on your computer


14. Everything designed to search for files on your computer. Incredibly fast. Gives search results when you click on each letter, like hints when searching 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 able to meet 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 important programs

Programs for capturing images and videos from the screen

15. FastStone Capture- 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 many useful little things. There are a lot of programs capable of performing high-quality video capture from the monitor screen: Bandicam, HyperCam, ScreenCamera, Techsmith Snagit, UVScreen Camera, VirtualDub. All of them have fairly similar functionality.

Programs of this class are all paid. Some of them have demo versions - shareware, severely curtailed with poor functionality, sometimes with inscriptions on the screen that prevent you from watching the video.

The most important leader in this field is considered to be a highly professional Camtasia Studio. It allows not only to capture images from the screen, but also to mount the captured videos using different effects.

Text recognition software

16. If you have a scanner or already scanned documents, or images with text, then you will need a text recognition program to convert them to text format. The best of its kind ABBYY FineReader.

Automatic keyboard switches

17. For those who write a lot of texts using the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, a great helper will be Punto Switcher, which automatically switches the keyboard layout depending on the words you type and fixes persistent errors. The program is absolutely free, developed by Yandex laboratory programmers.

Audio and video players

18. Lovers of music and video will need a player winamp, which has quite rare codecs with its package and is able to play 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 tone and much more .... Free.

There are a lot 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 different functionality. Any user will be able to satisfy all their needs.

Windows cleaners / boosters / optimizers

19. ccleaner useful for quick and easy cleaning of the system from temporary files, from unnecessary entries in the registry, etc. The program does not have the greatest functionality, but it performs the necessary minimum perfectly. Free. There are a lot of 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. All of them 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, in other packages there will be functions that you do not have. Even just registry cleaners, everyone checks different parts of the registry and sometimes they find something like this ... In general, there is something to choose from.

To clean the registry, along with other programs, I recommend using trashreg. This is a very small and specific program. Cleans the registry of abandoned keys that many demo programs leave in the system. After such cleaning, you can install demo versions again and use their features.

Recovering deleted files

Required programs for windows 10 - 7 - Power Data Recovery

20. Power Data Recovery is a simple yet powerful tool to recover deleted data. Allows you to recover:

  1. deleted files and folders;
  2. files from lost/deleted/damaged partition;
  3. data from a poorly readable CD / DVD;
  4. digital media data.

I would say the program is very important, but since not everyone needs it, that's why it is in the second section. Here are a couple more high-quality, free representatives of such programs: Recuva, Pandora Recovery. I must say that there are products of higher functionality, but they are paid: Hetman Partition Recovery, R-Studio, Wondershare Data Recovery.

Graphic editor

21. Adobe Photoshop- unsurpassed raster graphics editor. Just a necessary tool for creating, modifying pictures and adjusting photos. Required programs for windows 10 - 7 - CorelDraw

22. CorelDraw- the best vector graphics processor. Virtually indispensable in this area. The program is not super required, but essential for creating scalable vector images.

Programs for creating animation

23. Easy Gif Animator will be needed when creating animated pictures or videos. It has the entire arsenal of functions necessary for this. Free.

Disk imaging software

24. Ultra ISO will be needed for those who create images of CD / DVD discs. Works with the standard ISO disk image format. Allows you to create and edit simple and bootable disk images. Uses third-party disc burning software such as Burning Rom.

Programs for mounting disk images on a virtual drive


Required programs for windows 10 - 7 - Daemon Tools

25. Daemon Tools Lite allows you to mount an image of a CD / DVD disc on 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 physical disk images, Converting and editing images, Burning disks with images, data and music. Allows you to simulate a large number of different disc copy protection. Allows you to run disk toys not from DVD, but from a hard drive, which makes it possible for them to work much faster. A very useful utility for gamers and those who do not write images to discs, but keep them on the computer. Free.

Postal managers or clients


Required programs for windows 10 - 7 - The Bet

26. Email clients are perhaps the most important applications in modern human computing life. Most users have several accounts in different mail services. Mail clients have been created to provide convenient management of all mail flows. I will give a dozen well-known, and perhaps the best of the mass of mail clients that are available:

The Bet- a great helper for those who have an active Emai correspondence. Allows you to download mail from a huge number of mailboxes and organize it into folders. It has a filter designer and much more.

MS Outlook included in the Microsoft Office suite. The program is very sophisticated. I would even say over the top. But maybe it's all useful to someone.

Mailbird the program is lightweight, undemanding to resources, easy to use and visually appealing.

eM Client- this mail client has all the necessary basic functions.

Inky has a trial version that works for free for 14 days. It has a wide range of possibilities.

Claws Mail rather complex application is intended for advanced users who are not afraid to set everything up manually.

Zimbra Desktop is a free and open source email client. Zimbra is a cross-platform solution for Windows, Linux and Mac OS.

touch mail- a convenient mail client for owners of tablets or convertible laptops.

Thunderbird by Mozilla is a unique application. The built-in extension system allows you to increase the functionality of the client with the help of numerous tools created by the Thunderbird community.

Programs for reading DjVu files

Required programs for windows 10 - 7 - DjVu

27. Djvu is one of the scanned document formats. It is used as a rule for the storage and distribution of books, manuscripts, magazines in which there are many images, diagrams, drawings, formulas. And also for storing scans of historical documents, when accurate reproduction of the shade and texture of paper is required, the most reliable display of all defects, page folds, manual marks and corrections, prints, ink blots, etc.

You can view these files using the following programs: WinDjView, ICE Book Reader Professional, Evince Document Viewer, DjvuReader.

Programs for recording and processing sound

Required programs for windows 10 -7 - Audacity

28. There are also quite a lot of such programs, but perhaps the best will be a small but powerful one. Audacity. The program works with a mixer built into the personal computer system, as well as with external sound sources. It is designed to record sound files of unlimited size.

Allows already written files:

  1. clean from interference: hiss, static noise, hum;
  2. change volume;
  3. cut into pieces and mount as you like;
  4. as well as compress.

The program is used to record and process digital files. And also digitization of obsolete sound carriers: gramophone 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, which we reviewed in this article you mentioned in the article "". However, there is one note. Programs present on the ZverDVD disc - earlier versions can be installed on OS of any bitness. Many programs located on the disk "Zver 2016.3 Windows 8.1 Pro x64" have only a 64-bit version. And accordingly, they will not work on 32-bit OS.

Each operating system has its advantages and disadvantages, weighing them, you have to make a choice in favor of a particular system. For each OS, there are many programs and as many more are being developed. Although Windows 7, one might say, is morally obsolete, since after its release, Windows 8 has already appeared on sale and Windows 10 is preparing for an imminent release.

With the release of new versions of operating systems, improved versions of old useful programs appear or completely new software is being developed - this has happened since the advent of Windows 7. To work comfortably in the operating system, you need various applications and programs, the so-called software for Windows 7 For example, programs for downloading files from the Internet, for cleaning the system, antiviruses, browsers, media players and other useful programs will be useful.

Tweak-7

Tweak-7 is a system cleaning program. The utility works with various system settings, the registry and the startup list. Also, using the program, you can configure Internet connections, browser and mail.

Additionally, several useful tools are integrated into the tweaker, for example, a defragmenter and a hard drive cleaner.

Start Menu X

Start Menu X was previously known as Start Menu 7, but with the release of Windows 8, the name has changed. The program is designed to optimize Windows systems, in particular, Windows 7. The utility is specially designed as a convenient replacement for the standard Start menu in Windows.

Start Menu X allows you to create, modify and move menu items, which opens up many possibilities, such as creating a list of frequently used folders to open them quickly. The utility differs from similar ones in its unique flexibility in customization, which allows you to create a menu to your liking.

Windows 7 Manager

Windows 7 Codec Pack

Windows 7 Codec Pack is a set of necessary codecs for the correct playback of multimedia files. The set consists of the most popular codecs, utilities, filters, plug-ins and other tools.

Hello! Here I will post the most useful programs for a Windows 7, 8, 10 computer that I use myself, and which you can download to your computer for free without any SMS, displaying ads, entering captchas, etc. by direct link!

Often, to find the right program, especially if you are a beginner, it takes a lot of time to search for this program on the Internet. Now there are a lot of so-called “file dumps” on the network, from which I do not recommend you to download various programs. Not only do you watch a lot of ads before downloading any program from these sites and lose your time, but you also download “left” and unnecessary programs along with the program you need, or even some kind of Trojan or virus.

You need to download programs only from the official sites of these programs!

But not always, even on the official website of the program, you can quickly find a link to download the program. After all, developers of programs, especially free ones, also have to somehow earn money and also show their ads or impose other paid software.

Therefore, I decided to place the most necessary and interesting programs in my opinion on this page so that you can download for free without the above problems, in one click!

Basically, all the programs presented are free or shareware.

If you are interested in any program, and you want me to tell you more about it on the pages of this blog, then write about it in the comments, maybe I will review this program.

I will try to update all programs in this section once every 3 months. So stay tuned for updates to these programs,.

This set provides a list of the most necessary programs that are perfect for installing on a new laptop or device with a new Windows operating system.

Good antivirus protection

1 The first thing to install is, of course, good protection. Without a good antivirus, visiting any pages on the Internet, using third-party applications or devices, can lead to the infection of your computer with dangerous viruses and Trojans. To do this, we suggest you use the new, free antivirus solution 360 Total Security, which you can download from a special page of our website.

Feature rich browser

2 Further, to visit sites on the Internet, you must have an installed, modern browser. There are many applications, but each of them is unique in its own way. If you want to spend your time as efficiently and safely as possible while visiting Internet resources and using various services on the network, then we recommend that you download and install the free Yandex browser. This program has all the necessary tools for efficient and safe work on the Internet.

Good file archiver

3 Then you can install a shareware archiver. Most files on the Internet are distributed in archived form, and in order to extract the contents from them, you need a special program. We recommend that you download the very good WinRAR application and install it as your main archive tool. You can learn more about it and download it by clicking on the button below.

Multimedia

4 For playing music and watching 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 having to install additional 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 it down. For such cases, we recommend downloading the special utility 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 meet your needs, then you can always visit our website and select from the list all those applications that you want to download to your computer.
