Must-Have Software for Windows 7/8.1/10

A lot of people may need some software tools to help them with productivity, time management, accessibility, and so on. This list is not comprehensive but it is a basic list of software programs that you may need to make your experience on Windows a little bit easier and more efficient. I'm not sponsored by any of these products, by the way.

1. F.lux – Strain your eyes at night no more, as this free program makes your screen adapt to the time of day and limits the blue light that emanates from your computer screen. This is recommended for Windows 7, as 8.1 and 10 already have a Night Light feature built-in that does the trick.
2. LibreOffice - a good and working alternative to the Microsoft Office productivity suite, with the same programs.
3. OneNote - in my opinion, it is a good note-taking tool for school and college. There is an online version and a Windows 10 app.
4. Malwarebytes - this is a freemium (free but with priced premium features) antivirus program, and one of the best ones out there.
5. uBlock Origin - available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Edge. It is better than AdBlock Plus in that it blocks all of the ads and pop-ups a website has, and doesn't accept payments from advertisers for exceptions unlike ABP.
6. Google Translate - available for Chrome only. The official Google Translate extension, which can translate text on a webpage via a tooltip when highlighting text.

Let me know in the comments of this blog post if you have any recommendations that should be added to this list.

Thanks for reading! :)
