I take the guess work out of the equation don’t be the guinea pig in this cage.
All developed software and programs are not created equal, sometimes running or installing a program or software can be harmful to your productivity and or your system.
I test all these recommended Programs and Software out on a Windows test machine for any and all issues from hidden software installs like malware, spyware, Viruses, practicality of use etc… Simply if they just work then I recommend them.
If they work and do not harm the system or hinder productivity you will find them listed here on this list below.
Note many of them listed here are Free OpenSource programs meaning you do not have to pay for them to use them are free of any charges for use. Others are paid full versions however they offer home use for free however it is advised if they work well in the free use status then why not purchase them for better system support and productivity, consider this if they work well in the free use and the developers create a program and offer it for free use why not trust and purchase the full version with a license agreement this supports their hard work.
