Must Have Windows Programs

These are programs I personally use and highly recommend! Some are free, others are paid.

NOTE: All download links open in new tab, and some are affiliate links for added benefits for customers and myself.

The use and strongly recommend the programs below. I have included download links for each program. That said, the easiest way to download install them is by using PatchMyPC, which is my first pick.

Some of these picks are free, some are not.

Thank you for being a paid subscriber. Your support very much makes my work possible.

PatchMyPC

With our computers now constantly connected to the Internet, any vulnerability in any program could potentially be used to access our computers. However, most of the time, it's unlikely and targeted. That said, keeping programs up to date better ensures our computers remain reliable and secure.

My go-to is PatchMyPC, a FREE (home use) all-in-one installer for hundreds of the most commonly used programs. It will automatically detect which programs on your computer need to be updated in its database with one click.
