• What are YOUR favorite free Windows 10 programs?

    Posted on August 2, 2018 at 14:16 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Every time a new edition of Win10 All-In-One For Dummies ships, there’s a lot of attention devoted to the list of my favorite free Win10 programs, near the back of the book. I usually stick to about 10 free programs (or should I say “apps”?), give or take a couple. I still think that those freebies, plus the admonitions about the things you don’t need, pay for the price of the book, all by themselves, ignoring the other thousand-or-so pages.

    When writing for Computerworld, I don’t have the same space constraints, so I expand the list to 30 or so of the “best” using criteria that are entirely personal.

    I’m going to update that list in CW shortly, and I’d like your help.

    Tell me about your favorite free Windows 10 apps. I’m not looking for snazzy. I want meat ‘n taters apps that really make a difference in how you get things done. Only two requirements:

    • They have to be free, or perhaps have a free version
    • They have to run on Win10. Why? The universe of great free Win7 programs has been largely stagnant. Don’t shoot the messenger.

    What do you use? Why do you like it? What are the downsides? Tell me about them here – and include links if you have them….
