18.03.2016

When installing or reinstalling Windows you will need to reinstall the most necessary programs for your work. If you are doing this for the first time, a trivial question may arise regarding what programs are needed?

There is no single list for everyone. The set of preferred programs varies from person to person. In this article we will talk only about the most necessary ones, including those that you will use from the first seconds of working with a brand new operating system. So ?

Start with drivers

A newly installed Windows 7 system on a computer can immediately open many different formats and types of files. However, installing the same system on a laptop, you may encounter difficulties. It may not contain suitable drivers for various devices. For example, for a video card. And here you may stumble over the problem of performing some operations that are familiar to you. In this case, full communication with the computer will become impossible.

There are two ways out of this situation. The first thing is to find the disk that usually comes with any computer or laptop. If your computer has been upgraded, this disk may not be suitable. For a laptop, there is the following option - download drivers from the manufacturer’s official website. The company, as you understand, is indicated on the case and, most likely, written in rather large letters, and the model, most often, is written on the bottom of the laptop after the name of the manufacturer with the note “ Model».

If the above option does not suit you for any reason, use the program, which you can download from official website. This program will automatically select the necessary set of drivers for your computer.

There is another, most difficult and time-consuming option - searching for each driver on the Internet manually. For this type of work, we recommend that you be patient and have a good antivirus.

CompDude warns : If you are looking for drivers yourself, selecting each one separately, be sure to download them only from the official website of the manufacturer of a particular component or device.

Install antivirus

Having sketched out a list of necessary programs, do not rush to download and install them. Everything has its time! First, you should make sure your computer is protected by installing an antivirus. Before installing an antivirus program, you should not use the Internet or visit any sites that you are not confident in. If you catch a virus online, you may need to go back to the very beginning, namely the beginning Windows installations 7. Use only trusted sites, consult with friends. Make sure the downloaded version of the antivirus is up to date. Outdated software will not be able to protect your computer from modern viruses. If possible, update the antivirus database.

You can find out more about what antiviruses exist, which one is best to choose for your computer and laptop, as well as where to download suitable antivirus software at .

Specialists Microsoft regularly release updates for Windows, which also includes all sorts of improvements, bug fixes, etc. Installing such updates will increase your computer's security against threats that are constantly trying to ruin your life. However, this is far from the only reason why you simply need to care about updating the system. Many programs need latest versions and improvements. They may slow down, not work, or not install at all. Versions with built-in updates and basic software are not uncommon on the Internet. Having installed one of these assemblies, you may not need to update the system in the near future. However, it is extremely difficult to find a high-quality assembly that can meet all your expectations.

Codecs for audio and video
operating system Windows 7 includes a standard set of codecs for video playback and audio playback. However, these codecs do not support all formats. You are likely to encounter difficulty playing some video files or music. To increase the number of formats, you will need to install an additional codec package. One of the most complete collections is, which you can download at this link. This collection includes a pretty good Media Player Classic. Thanks to it, all popular file formats will be available on your computer.

Still, what programs are needed for windows computer 7 ?

You have done minimal system preparation: installed codecs, drivers and antivirus. Now let's look at the programs needed to open and work with all the files that the average PC user might need.

1. 
   A browser is a program for searching all kinds of information on various websites. Thanks to him you can download the necessary program, find your favorite movie or music, send a letter, chat in in social networks and share multimedia files. When installing Windows 7 the browser will be installed automatically Internet Explorer. Its functionality is not suitable for every user. However, thanks to it you can download from the Internet any convenient for you.

On our website you can find an article about what browsers exist for a computer and, after reading , choose the one that suits you best.

1. Microsoft Office.

This software package was created for editing and creating text documents, tables, presentations, etc. Most users cannot imagine a computer without programs Excel And Word, which are the main subroutines Microsoft Office presented on official website.

If you don’t have enough money to purchase this program, use its free analogue OpenOffice.org, or other software with similar functionality.

1. Audio and video player.

Although this is not mandatory, it is still desirable software, since few people are satisfied with the functionality of a standard media player integrated into Windows OS.

Suitable for watching videos WinPlayer or VLC , supporting all current video formats. The ability to play them is limited only by the capabilities of your video card and the performance of the PC as a whole.

But for audio playback, the good old one, well known to everyone, will be quite enough or alternatively, AIMP . If you like to listen to music in lossless formats, we recommend using a simple and convenient Foobar 2000 , which can be downloaded from this link.

This program will help you view images that are stored on your computer. Internal, similar system program Windows 7 , of course, will be able to open all pictures and photographs, however, the abundance of its capabilities is extremely small. This forces users to look for additional programs such as ACDSee Photo Software or others similar. First - professional program, allowing you not only to open and view, but also to edit images. The second is free, however, many photography lovers sympathize with it. You can download it at official website.

1. Foxit Reader.

The program is designed to view files in pdf format. Almost all modern companies produce their catalogs, drawings, documents, brochures in this format. Programs from Windows, working with pdf does not exist today. A competitor to modern and nimble Foxit is a well-known program Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can download from this link.

Download Foxit Reader you can on official website.

1. Archiver.

A proven archiver designed to reduce file volume. This program will help you send files by email by combining them. You don’t need to send and drag individual files into an email; you just need to upload a pre-created archive. The competitors of this program were free 7- Zip, WinZip and others.

Download trial version you can on developer website.

Thanks to this program you can burn data to CD and DVD media. These media are losing their popularity every year. This is facilitated by the growth of information on the Internet, hard disks and Flash media. A standard Windows 7 program such as Windows Media can burn music discs, DVDs and CDs. Help you create a DVD video disc Windows DVD Studio. This is where the functionality of standard Windows programs ends. For those who want to have a little more options, we recommend installing Nero Buring ROM or Ashampoo Burning Studio . These are the most convenient and quite popular programs in this area. However, for an ordinary user, a free one is enough, which you can download from here.

A program that creates virtual emulation of a CD/DVD drive. This program will be able to open images of game discs and programs you found on the Internet. A disk image is a complete copy of a laser disk with information recorded on it. Such a disk should not be inserted into a mechanical one, but into virtual drive, which works similarly. - a free, fairly popular program. An analogue of this program is 120% Alcohol

The result will be something similar to “dfjnkjdfldf”. The program will automatically track the writing language and, if necessary, independently change the layout. You can download this utility .

The programs we have reviewed are useful, but not required. If codecs, drivers are installed, an antivirus is installed, the system is updated - everything will work. The specifics of the work and your preferences will help you understand what programs are needed for a windows 7 computer? The list we present may differ greatly from the list of programs you need.

The seventh generation operating system from Microsoft is the most popular OS among all existing ones. this moment, and, of course, the most successful of the Windows family. This is the last “OS”, which was a not fully optimized tool for working with a computer, requiring modifications and configurations. Starting with Windows 8, the procedure for installing and configuring the operating system has become accessible to the majority of average users, and the system itself has received, by default, many useful tools for working with documents and files. In the case of Windows 7, users had to independently install the most necessary programs for the computer.

Let's look at the package of the most necessary software, which must certainly be present on any modern or not the most modern PC running the legendary “Seven”.

Uninstallers
Perhaps the first of the most necessary programs, which are recommended to be installed immediately after installing/reinstalling Windows 7, are uninstallers. The seventh generation OS is a representative of the old line of systems, when they could easily be “ruined” by installing too many unnecessary programs, utilities and games. Therefore, users are recommended to use special uninstallers that allow them to remove existing programs without a trace, restoring the computer to the state it was before installing unnecessary software.
And among uninstaller programs, two obvious leaders can be distinguished:
CCleaner;
Uninstall Tool

Both solutions allow you to perform comprehensive removal of programs from your computer, however, unlike its opponent, the Uninstall Tool is a paid software. However, finding a key or crack on the Internet for home use of the software is not so difficult.
As for CCleaner, this tool is also capable of removing programs installed on the system efficiently and without leaving a trace. In addition, the “software” also has a set of functions for cleaning the computer.

Programs for media files.
Of course, when it comes to what programs are needed for a computer with Windows 7, we must not forget that at home computers are often used for entertainment. And entertainment, first of all, is watching films and television series, listening to music. And for all this to be played correctly, the system must have not only the appropriate players, but also codec packages. This will probably come as news to fans of newer members of the Windows family, but versions released before Windows 8 were not able to play all media file formats by default.
Therefore, first of all, the most necessary programs for Windows 7 are tools such as K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. This software includes all the necessary codecs to play most of the media formats known today. In addition, the software also includes a simple, concise and fast media player “Media player Classic”, which is indispensable when viewing video files.

Archivers
Next on the list of programs you need after reinstalling Windows 7 are archivers. This, as they say, is our everything, because most files downloaded from the Internet are packed into archives. And, which will again be news for users of newer versions of Windows, “Seven” by default is not trained to open files in the “.rar” format, etc.
Therefore, it is recommended that immediately after installing the OS you think about installing the following software to choose from:
WinRar;
7zip.

These two options will be enough for you, because these are unprecedented leaders in the field of unpacking any archives. As for leadership among these two software giants, WinRar certainly wins the battle for leadership, but this “software” has one drawback - it is paid. However, here there is no need for users to even think about activators or cracks, because the software does not require a mandatory purchase, and users can continue to use it for decades. The only inconvenience will be an annoying window notifying them that the program needs to be purchased.
If you do not want to see such pop-up information on your PC screen, then you should think about installing the 7zip archiver.

Web browsers
Of course, we must not forget about something without which today it is truly impossible to imagine any computer, laptop, tablet or even smartphone. It's about about the web browser, about the program that allows us to access the Internet. And here the answer to the question of what browser programs are needed after installing Windows 7 has three options:
Mozilla Firefox;
Opera;
Google Chrome.

We strongly recommend that you do not pay attention to other analogues, such as the browser from Yandex, Amigo and other dubious software solutions. Often this software is built on the basis of Google Chrome, and will bring nothing but annoying advertising and unnecessary plugins into your life.
The choice should be made on user-recognized, world-famous, convenient and reliable browsers, which we listed above. They all have their advantages. However, for the average user it is almost impossible to identify any significant differences between such software. Therefore, you can make a choice in favor of the browser interface that best suits your preferences.

Work with documents
Even if the list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7 is selected for home computer, text editors must necessarily be present in it. And among the most suitable options are the following:

Microsoft Office is an application that includes all the necessary tools for working with text documents, tables, presentations, databases, etc. It is offered for use only for a fee, but you can always find solutions for using the software in the form of license code generators and cracks;

Libre Office is a completely free analogue of the office software package from Microsoft, which includes all the most necessary tools for text editing, working with tables and presentations.
These two options will be more than enough for both home use and work.

Antivirus
The last thing on the list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7 we want to mention is antivirus software. If in Windows 10 the standard “Defender” is at a high level and, in principle, does not require replacement with any analogues, then the standard “Firewall” of Windows 7 from antivirus software has, alas, only a name, and requires mandatory replacement.

The most suitable options for use include: Avast antivirus. This is shareware software that offers a full range of tools to reliably protect your computer from malware, Trojans and other “evil spirits” that are so often found on the Internet.
The free version includes all the functionality necessary to safely use your computer. The only thing that users need to use Avast software for free is to indicate their address Email to complete the registration procedure.
This was a list of the most necessary programs for Windows 7, which are necessary for correct and comfortable work on a computer or laptop running the legendary OS. As for further optimization of the system, the software should be installed solely at the discretion and needs of the users. This applies to graphic editors, instant messengers, cloud systems and services, remote support utilities, email clients and other software that can be found on the Internet.
We recommend that you do not overdo it with experiments and do not install too many unnecessary programs on your PC, as this may affect the speed of the computer in the future.
