Hello! Here I will post the most useful programs for Windows computer 7, 8, 10, which I use myself, and which you can download to your computer for free without any SMS, display of 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 the most necessary and interesting programs in my opinion, place 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 any program interests you, 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,.

Necessary programs for windows 10 - 7, XP. In this article I will tell you about the most necessary programs for windows. 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 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), 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 necessary programs for windows. The programs that we will consider in this article, I believe, should be installed on almost every computer under Windows control 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. The 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 cracked by anyone.
If you uploaded a ZverDVD disk image, then WinRar is already there with a registration key.
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 website and you need to create GZIP archives, then 7-zip will provide 2-10% better compression 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 the most different formats, without which not one audio / video player does not 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 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.
To download the package, you need to click on "Mirror 1" (mirror 1) or 2 in the "Download" section.
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. AT Google Chrome and Yandex browser it is already built in.
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, which IE doesn't 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 most fast 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. Latest Versions this browser is very nimble. 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, 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 inconveniently on Google Chrome. But it 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. Which is specially designed for downloading videos from YouTube or RuTube. Very comfortable and quality item. But if you suddenly don’t like it, I offer another very 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 a program 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. We replace the little functional and inconvenient text editor from the Windows package 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 much 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. Its only drawback is the huge price.
libreoffice free full-fledged replacement for the Microsoft Office package.
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!
If you uploaded a ZverDVD disk image, then Total Commander is already there with a registration key.
Programs for viewing PDF files
10. Foxit Phantom required to read PDF documents. The program is 10 times smaller than the analogue Adobe Acrobat, much faster and also 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 provide the most demanding requests. different 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 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, heavily cut down 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 that has rather 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. Some players can play audio and video directly from the Internet. Any user will be able to satisfy all their needs.
Windows cleaners / boosters / optimizers
19. 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
20. - A simple yet powerful tool to recover deleted data. Allows you to recover:
- deleted files and folders;
- files from a lost / deleted / damaged partition, for example after deleting or formatting a partition;
- data from a poorly readable CD / DVD / flash drive;
- 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. 
22. - best handler vector graphics. 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 programs
24. Ultra ISO will be needed for those who create images of CD / DVD discs. Works with standard image format ISO discs. Allows you to create and edit simple and bootable disk images. Uses third party programs for burning discs such as Burning Rom.

Answers to frequently asked questions
What are the must-have apps for Windows 10?
The question is fundamentally wrong. The set of programs that you are going to use does not depend on the version of Windows. Windows is just an operating system. The task of which is to ensure the operation of the computer. How you use it is up to you. You probably have some goals, objectives, desires in the end.
If we compare by analogy, then a computer is a universal machine. Windows is a drive, if you want the main shaft. Programs are fixtures, tools, such as chisels. Which tool, how and when the master will use, depends only on the master. And the master is YOU.
As a rule, the master selects a tool depending on the need at the moment. The tool that is used every day is always kept at hand. Because he is the most important. And the one that is rarely used is kept aside, but ready. This is less important.
It's the same with programs. Based on the general modern specifics of using computers, I made two lists. The most important programs that are used by almost everyone and almost every day. And less important programs that are used by many users, but somewhat less frequently.
Which programs you choose is up to you, not Windows. I have provided lists to help you do this.
