Essential Softwares for a new Windows install
Essential Softwares for a new Windows install
It is quite often that we have to reinstall windows either due to some virus problems or due to some hardware failures.And to get the system back to its peak performance we have to install many other essential softwares.And quite often we do forget to install some of them as either we don't have them at hand at that time or we simply forget to install them..So here i will try to put together a list of of all essential softwares that we should install at the times of Windows reinstallation so that we don't have to worry about any incompatibilities later...I know we can add to this list all the Free softwares and other others required for day to day work,..But i have kept it simple and to the minimum basic..If you want i can also add the list of such free alternative softwares..
EDIT: If the mods consider this thread to be posted on applications forum they can please move it there..I just thought that it will more useful to post it here...thanks
