I start with a stock install. First, I remove or disable one drive. Then I use Ninite to quickly install essential software like Chrome, VLC, 7 zip, etc. I prefer CoreTemp for its performance, especially with Ryzen processors. I also use MSI Afterburner and Riva. Samsung Magician is my go-to tool, and I’ve switched to using Windows Security’s Defender instead of Symantec lately. For video editing, I rely on Davinci, though I’m not very skilled in it. A popular free tool we use is pdf escape. I also use Adobe, but sometimes it doesn’t edit properly, so I rely on 'escape' as a backup—it works well.

PDF Escape is a popular freeware solution I rely on. Adobe is another option, but sometimes it doesn’t edit files properly, so I use 'escape' as a backup. I also pay for Dropbox and Quickbooks since they’re essential for work. Adobe is similar; I’ve been shifting to Libre Office or Open Office because of licensing issues with MS Office. Looking ahead, I expect to switch to Ubuntu for free software on older but still functional machines.
