Great Softwares To Have On Your PC

Windows 11 is the latest incarnation of Microsoft’s operating system, and if you’re already running it, you should be considering investing in apps to take full advantage of all that it has to offer. Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to start though, with so many apps on offer, and so here are a few of the best software for your PC.

Slack: For collaborative teams that need an easy way of communicating online. Slack is primarily designed for remote workers but also available for more standard offices. It’s free with paid add-ons available if you require more storage or integrations with other systems such as Google Docs or Trello. It’s a great choice for those who work best when collaborating remotely, and it will also save on a lot of email.

Microsoft Office: This is a non-negotiable part of any PC’s app collection. With a series of powerful tools like Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. MS Office has been the productivity software of choice for millions of PC users for years now. That being said – Google is offering great alternatives to MS Office’s tools in a more light package. 

Dropbox: For organizing files by keeping them secure in their Dropbox cloud storage system. The app is available to download for all devices. It works great for saving phone pictures too – especially if you want access from multiple devices.

Adobe Photoshop: The best photo-editing app out there. This is the tool that the professionals use to create the images you see on most websites, and it’s a must have for anyone looking to edit their own pictures. It can be used with a tablet if you want to get even more advanced – the tools make editing easier than ever before. You can also try Adobe Lightroom which is similar but aimed at professional photographers who want to keep track of their entire portfolio.

Spotify: On demand music streaming for free or paid memberships. Choose from millions of songs and listen offline, on demand or with Spotify radio (which will learn your tastes over time). It’s easy to use and really handy if you’re using your computer for work, or for commuting on trains or planes.

Google Drive: For collaborative editing of large files, an easy way to access shared folders. You can also add files to Google Drive even if you don’t have a Google account, although it might be easier to create an account first and then add the files afterwards.

Kindle: If you’re a big reader, this is the app to buy. The guide is simple and easy to navigate around – just put in what you want and it will do the rest. It’s great for reading on your phone, tablet or computer.

Evernote: A note taking app that allows you to create virtual notebooks where all of your work can be stored. The app is available across multiple devices so you can make notes on the go – even if you don’t have a laptop with you – and then edit them later. It’s a good way to collaborate with other workers too, as they can add their own notes and then sync the whole thing back in the office.

Podcast Pro: A podcast player with an easy to use interface. You can search for podcasts, download them and then listen offline. It’s a good choice if you want an app that takes care of most of the work for you – you won’t even have to create an account.

VLC Media Player: For watching videos, this is the app to get. You can play any type of file, and it works across platforms so you don’t need to change your players if you’re using your phone or computer at the same time. The interface is easy to use and there are a ton of free skins available on www.videolan.org/vlc/skins which will give it your own unique style.

Mozilla Firefox: A browser that comes with its own add-ons to make browsing a smoother experience. These include things like easy password management and tracker blockers, which can help you avoid online threats. It’s not just for browsing either – you can use it to create web apps and games too, which will run off their own server in the cloud.

Google Calendar: Made by Google, this is one of the best ways to keep on top of your scheduling. You can set up events and then invite multiple people – even those who don’t have Google accounts – so that they’ll all receive an email invite. It’s easy to use and with a lot of features like reminders and multiple calendars so you can keep track of all the things you need to do.

Software’s are exciting and evolving all the time and keeping up with the best ones is key to getting the most out of your PC!
