您需要多长时间才能按照自己喜欢的方式设置新计算机?我们在这里谈论Windows。是的,我们知道Mac(Macs)配备了您需要的几乎所有东西,而不是太多您不需要的东西。
与Windows不同的是,它会弄清楚你需要什么,不需要什么。好吧,我们现在就来帮助你。以下是我们最喜欢在任何全新安装的Windows上下载的七款应用。
IOBit Uninstaller 或 PC Decrapifier(IOBit Uninstaller or PC Decrapifier)
为什么建议首先卸载其他程序的程序?Windows 10 安装了许多您可能不需要的软件。对于OEM来说,情况更糟,您甚至没有选择的余地。下载 IOBit Uninstaller Free(Download IOBit Uninstaller Free)并运行它。
当它打开时,转到左侧的Windows App项目并选择它。(Windows App )它将列出所有已安装的额外Windows 应用(Windows Apps)程序。只需(Simply)选择要卸载的那些,然后单击右上角的卸载(Uninstall )按钮。IOBit 卸载程序(IOBit Uninstaller)将完成剩下的工作。首先下载IOBit Uninstaller(Download IOBit Uninstaller),清理电脑。
我之前写过的另一个很棒的程序是PC Decrapifier,它也运行良好并且已经存在了很长时间。最好摆脱第三方臃肿软件。
Chrome、Firefox 或 Brave(Chrome, Firefox, or Brave)
尽管Microsoft Edge是一款功能强大的浏览器,现在基于Chrome构建,但您可能更愿意使用Google Chrome浏览器或 Mozilla 的Firefox浏览器。无论哪种方式,最好在您的系统上拥有多个 Web 浏览器。
有些网站在某些网络浏览器中无法正常工作。每个浏览器都可以以不同的方式解释网站的代码,比如你可以对两个不同的人说同样的话,而他们每个人听到的东西都不同。
(Firefox)如果您想从谷歌的全监控和全跟踪Chrome浏览器中隐藏一些搜索和网页浏览, (Chrome)Firefox和Brave也很棒。Firefox和Brave正试图比Chrome目前更安全,更注重隐私。
下载Chrome、Firefox或Brave作为您第二重要的程序,为您提供进入网络的最佳窗口。
7-Zip
即使您拥有千兆互联网(Gigabit Internet)服务和 TB 级的云空间,您也需要一个程序来压缩和解压缩文件。因为不是每个人都有那种带宽或空间。当然,Windows带有自己的压缩实用程序,但它只能用于扩展名为 .zip 的压缩文件。
我们进行了一项实验,将 7-Zip 与 Windows Compression、WinZip 和 WinRAR(compare 7-Zip to Windows Compression, WinZip, and WinRAR)进行比较,我们认为 7-Zip 是最好的。下载 7-Zip(Download 7-Zip)第三个,以解压缩您从这里获得的任何其他程序或下载。
KeePass 或 LastPass(KeePass or LastPass)
你需要一个密码保险箱。安全,就像在一个地方可以锁定您每天使用的所有密码。将它们保存在记事本(Notepad)文件中并不好。如果黑客进入您的计算机,他们会在几秒钟内找到该文件并获得您的所有密码。一个好的密码保险箱将以加密状态存储密码。因此,即使Johnny Hacker获得了文件,他也需要一些重要的工业硬件来访问它们。
一个好的密码保险箱还可以在不同的网站上自动填充您的密码。这使您可以生成近乎牢不可破的密码,但不必成为记忆冠军即可记住它们。
KeePass或LastPass可以说是最流行的密码保险箱。KeePass在您的计算机上是本地的,因此如果您对将所有内容存储在云上持怀疑态度,请使用KeePass。
下载 KeePass(Download KeePass)或下载 LastPass(download LastPass)作为您第四重要的应用程序,以安全地保存您将创建的所有唯一密码。
VLC 媒体播放器(VLC Media Player)
对于播放视频下载,很难击败VLC 媒体播放器(VLC Media Player)。它也可以播放几乎任何视频格式。它可以对 CD、DVD(DVDs)、下载的文件甚至流式文件执行此操作。它也是一个功能强大的音频文件播放器。
您可能不知道的是,VLC可用于将视频从一种文件格式转换为另一种文件格式。查看我们关于如何为 VLC 媒体播放器制作和管理音乐播放列表(How To Make and Manage Music Playlists For VLC Media Player)以及如何将 VLC 与 Chromecast 一起使用(How to Use VLC With Chromecast)的文章。下载 VLC 媒体播放器(Download VLC Media Player)第五个,让您在继续设置计算机的同时保持娱乐。
Microsoft Office , LibreOffice或OpenOffice
计算机是为工作而设计的,所以在某些时候你需要安装一个办公套件。Microsoft Office是大块头,当然,也可以看看LibreOffice或OpenOffice。作为免费的开源套件,它们令人印象深刻。
请务必将它们设置为自动打开并保存为Microsoft Office文件格式。这样,您将能够处理来自几乎任何人的文件。第六下载 Microsoft Office(Download Microsoft Office)、LibreOffice或OpenOffice,让您开始工作。
防病毒和安全
有人可能会争辩说,您先安装这些类型的应用程序,但 Windows 10 内置的安全性非常好,它很灵活。请务必了解如何通过更改内部设置来保护 Windows 10 以获得最大保护(how to secure Windows 10 by changing internal settings to get maximum protection)。
但是,已经下载并安装了病毒或恶意软件清理工具(如Malware Bytes )并没有什么坏处。(Malware Bytes)如果发生了什么事,您可以立即采取措施。第七次下载 MalwareBytes(Download MalwareBytes)以确保您的计算机安全和快乐。

7 Best Programs to Immediately Install on Your New Computer
How long does it take you to get а nеw computer set up just the way you like it? We’re talking Windows here. Yes, we know Macs come with pretty much everythіng you need and not too much that you don’t.
It’s a different story with Windows, figuring out what you need and what you don’t. Well, we’re going to help you with that right now. Here are seven of our favorite apps to download on any fresh install of Windows.
IOBit Uninstaller or PC Decrapifier
Why is a program to uninstall other programs the first thing recommended? Windows 10 installs with a lot of software that you probably don’t need. From an OEM, it’s even worse and you don’t even have a choice in the matter. Download IOBit Uninstaller Free and run it.
When it opens, go to the Windows App item on the left and select that. It will list all the extra Windows Apps that were installed. Simply select the ones you want to uninstall, then click on the Uninstall button in the top-right corner. IOBit Uninstaller will do the rest. Download IOBit Uninstaller first, to clean the computer up.
Another great program that I’ve written about before is PC Decrapifier, which also works well and has been around for a long time. It’s better at getting rid of third-party bloatware.
Chrome, Firefox, or Brave
Although Microsoft Edge is a capable browser, now being built on the base of Chrome, you’re probably more comfortable using either the Google Chrome browser or Mozilla’s Firefox browser. Either way, it’s good to have more than one web browser on your system.
Some websites just don’t work properly in some web browsers. Each browser can interpret the code of a website differently, like how you can say the same thing to two different people and they each hear something different.
Firefox and Brave are also great if you want to hide some search and web browsing from Google’s all-monitoring and all-tracking Chrome browser. Firefox and Brave are trying to be far more secure and privacy oriented than Chrome currently is.
Download Chrome, Firefox, or Brave as your second most important program, to give you the best window into the web.
7-Zip
Even if you’ve got Gigabit Internet service and terabytes of cloud space, you need to get a program to compress and decompress files. Because not everyone has that kind of bandwidth or space. Sure, Windows comes with its own compression utility, but it can only be used on compressed files with the .zip extension.
We’ve done an experiment to compare 7-Zip to Windows Compression, WinZip, and WinRAR and we think 7-Zip is the best. Download 7-Zip third, to decompress any other programs or downloads you get from here on.
KeePass or LastPass
You need a password safe. Safe, as in a place to lock away all the passwords that you use everyday. Keeping them in a Notepad file just isn’t good. If a hacker should get on your computer, they’ll find that file and have all your passwords in seconds. A good password safe will store the passwords in an encrypted state. So even if Johnny Hacker gets the file, he’s going to need some serious industrial hardware to access them.
A good password safe will also be able to autofill your passwords on different websites. This allows you to generate near-unbreakable passwords, but not have to be a memory champion to remember them.
KeePass or LastPass are, arguably, the most popular password safes out there. KeePass is local to your computer, so if you are skeptical of storing everything on the cloud, go with KeePass.
Download KeePass or download LastPass as your fourth most important app, to safely keep all the unique passwords you’ll create.
VLC Media Player
For playing video downloads, it’s hard to beat VLC Media Player. It can play just about any video format, too. It can do this with CDs, DVDs, downloaded files, or even streaming files. It’s also a capable audio file player.
What you might not know is that VLC can be used to convert videos from one file format to another. Check out our articles on How To Make and Manage Music Playlists For VLC Media Player and How to Use VLC With Chromecast. Download VLC Media Player fifth, to keep you entertained while you continue to set up your computer.
Microsoft Office, LibreOffice or OpenOffice
Computers were intended for work, so at some point you’ll need to install an office suite. Microsoft Office is the big kid on the block, of course, but also take a look at LibreOffice or OpenOffice. For being free, open source suites, they are very impressive.
Just be sure to set them to automatically open and save to Microsoft Office file formats. That way, you’ll be able to work with files from just about anyone. Download Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, or OpenOffice sixth, to get you up and working.
Anti-Virus and Security
It could be argued that you install these kinds of apps before anything else, but with how good Windows 10 built-in security is, it’s flexible. Do make sure to learn how to secure Windows 10 by changing internal settings to get maximum protection.
However, it wouldn’t hurt to have virus or malware clean-up tools like Malware Bytes already downloaded and installed. If something should happen, you can do something about it right away. Download MalwareBytes seventh to keep your computer safe and happy.
What Else Should I Install?
The seven programs above will cover the most basic needs of just about anyone. Your personal and business needs will dictate what other programs you should get.
Also keep in mind that there are alternatives to all of these programs. Most of the programs listed are free. If they aren’t, there are likely free alternatives out there.
A personal computer is just that; personal. There’s no single right configuration except that one that works for you now. If you want even more freeware recommendations, check out our 99 best freeware programs article.
