Download programs on your PC for Windows 7. Free programs for Windows

Hello! Here I will post the most useful programs for the Windows 7, 8, 10 computer, which I use myself, and which you can download for free to your computer without any SMS, displaying ads, entering captcha, etc. via direct link!

Often, to find the right program, especially if you are a beginner, it takes a lot of time to search for this program on the Internet. Now there are a lot of so-called “file dumpers” on the Internet, from which I do not recommend you download various programs. Not only will you, before downloading any program from these sites, watch a lot of advertising and waste your time, but you will also download, along with the program you need, “wrong” and unnecessary programs, or even some kind of Trojan or virus.

You must download programs only from the official websites of these programs!

But it is not always possible to quickly find a link to download the program even on the official website of the program. After all, developers of programs, especially free ones, also have to earn money somehow and also show their advertising or impose other paid software.

Therefore, I decided to place the most necessary and interesting programs in my opinion on this page so that you can download for free without the above-mentioned problems, in one click!

Basically, all the programs presented are free or shareware.

If any program interests you, and you want me to talk about it in more detail on the pages of this blog, then write about it in the comments, maybe I will review this program.

I will try to update all programs in this section once every 3 months. So stay tuned for updates to these programs.

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 some 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. Having caught a virus on the network, you may need to go back to the very beginning, namely, to the beginning of installing Windows 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 require the 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 a windows 7 computer?

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.

A browser is a program for searching all kinds of information on various websites. Thanks to it, you can download the necessary program, find your favorite movie or music, send a letter, communicate on social networks and exchange 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 one 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.

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 buy this program, use its free analogue OpenOffice.org, or other software with similar functionality.

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. The first is a professional program that allows 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.

Foxit Reader.

The program is designed to view files in pdf format. Almost all modern companies produce their catalogs, drawings, documents, and 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.

Archiver.

A proven archiver designed to reduce file volume. This program will help you send files by email by combining them. You do not need to send and drag individual files into the letter, just transfer the archive created in advance. The competitors of this program were free 7- Zip, WinZip and others.

You can download the trial version at 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 drives and Flash media. A standard Windows 7 program such as Windows Media can burn music discs, DVDs and CDs. Windows DVD Studio will help you create a DVD video disc. 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 be inserted not into a mechanical drive, but into a virtual drive that works in a similar way. - a free, fairly popular program. An analogue of this program is Alcohol 120% and derivatives.

Download DAEMON Tools Lite you can by this link(official site).

Skype.

A program for instant exchange of data and messages, as well as video messages. You will be able to make video calls to users from all over the world, as well as write text messages to them, exchange multimedia files, and organize conferences.

You can read more about Skype, as well as where to download it, here . If for some reason this program does not suit you, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with it.

Punto Switcher (optional).

A unique program for automatically switching languages on your keyboard. The most popular keyboard layouts in our country are Russian and English. If necessary, the user can change the layout himself using hot keys or the language button on the desktop. However, rapid parallel communication on social networks, Skype and ICQ can make you make an involuntary mistake. Russian text will be typed in English layout. 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.

Windows is still the most popular operating system for the vast majority of PC users in the world. Such a global success of this system was largely possible thanks to the very solid software support of the developers. Here, on our resource, any user can download programs for Windows 7, 8, XP and 10 for free.

In demand in all parts of the world, Windows 7 is considered one of the most successful projects of all previously released operating systems from the software giant Microsoft.

Official sales of Windows 7 began in 2009 and very quickly attracted the attention of all concerned users.

While working on the next operating system, the manufacturer tried to take into account all the wishes of PC owners and eliminate the shortcomings of previous releases - first of all, it was working on errors in the Windows Vista OS. The good news is that support will be provided until January 14, 2020, and Windows 7 free download you can from the official website of the developer (the link is provided at the bottom of the article).

Recommended system requirements for installation: 2 GB of RAM, 10 GB HDD, 2 GHz CPU or higher, as well as a discrete video card (for using the Aero graphical interface).

Seven has received an improved taskbar, which now accommodates many more open windows and pinned items than was the case in previous versions of the OS. Now icons of open programs are displayed without labels, and the ability to preview program windows and the function of closing an entire group of windows allows you to interact with the system with greater comfort.

Many users who absolutely do not want to part with their favorite games or old but well-functioning applications will be pleased to know that the Windows 7 version interacts without problems with a huge number of programs developed for earlier versions of the OS. This is possible thanks to the available compatibility mode for older versions of Windows.
Windows 7 is great for multi-touch control, which is typical for recently popular laptops with touch screens, as well as many other similar devices.

The operating system is also able to remember and recognize in the future the user’s characteristic gestures, which makes control even easier and more understandable, and an abundance of desktop themes makes the OS as user-friendly as possible, because changing the size and colors of the window and enlarging icons is not difficult even for a beginner.

It is worth noting that all previously known fonts have become smoother and clearer, not only due to the increased number of high-resolution monitors, but also due to their diligent adjustment by a group of designers and artists. This makes it easier to perceive information while reading from a computer screen. One of the most popular text editors for Windows can be called Word (Microsoft Word), which is the most preferred in this environment, but you will have to pay for its use, or use trial versions or free analogues.

The Windows 7 subsystem, which is responsible for interacting with the hardware contents of the computer, deserves special attention - most existing devices are recognized the first time they are launched, so there is no need to install additional drivers. However, we recommend installing the latest drivers for your video card, network adapters and other hardware that can only be supported by the 7 in a basic way.

The best tool for this is DriverPack Solution, a program for automatically searching and updating drivers. You can download the program for free from the official website. Well, flash drives, webcams and all sorts of external drives, as a rule, are detected without problems and are ready for use a few seconds after connecting to the computer.

After all, the developers have taken into account numerous complaints from users since previous releases of the operating system. Now, even the number of playable video formats has increased by an order of magnitude (without installing special codecs), and there is no need to talk about improving the user interface, as well as support for mobile gadgets connected to the player. From now on, even novice users will not experience such problems as they did before, and nothing needs to be done to download windows player for windows 7, because it is already built into the system.

The improved firewall will notify the user that a particular application has been blocked; previously it did not have such a function.

In addition, Windows 7 uses modern encryption technology called BitLocker, which, after numerous improvements, is now capable of effectively encrypting data on individual media. Availability of a practical function DirectAccess allows you to create a secure connection between a personal computer and a remote server automatically without the help of the PC owner.

With the new version of the OS, advanced users will be able to manage the reserve space on their hard drive, which is intended for system recovery, and also decide what to “treat” first: files that have been changed or lost settings.

conclusions: Seven is an excellent operating system for a wide variety of tasks, and its moderate demands on system resources allow installations even on outdated equipment. At the same time, there is no need to separately download programs for Windows 7 in view of the fact that all software that is written for older versions of the OS will feel great in the new shell. To do this, just select the compatibility mode with older releases, although in 99% of cases even this is not required.
