Top 10 Cool Free Windows Software (You'll Really Want)

List:

This is a list of really cool free software that I think most people could really use. These are all at least for Windows, but much of this software is probably cross-platform compatible with other operating systems such as Mac and Linux. These software include anything from recovering deleted files in Windows, to a free Microsoft Office alternative.

My favorite free software is the Windows desktop. What about you?

[heminhimdad]

The mp3 tag is so useful, I've been searching for it a long time ago, thanks for the video ☺

[SpaceFlye]

Hmmm, I can see Bulk Rename Utility being quite useful for things like picture albums. Very nice.

ThioJoe: Number 6, discord.
Literally everybody: bruh

[AlyssaMcNeil]

About MediaInfo you mentioned: There's a "better" version called MediaInfo Lite which may sound like the lesser version but it has actually a much cleaner and simpler interface, it allows you to export all the media info into a text file as well.

[Papa-Dima]

Wow. This is great, all those programs you talked about are very useful! Thanks Joe, saved me lots of time researching and trials.

[ehrenloudermilk]

Dude, huge thanks for the bulk rename utility. Absolute life saver.

*Hears Thio Joe say Discord*

[x_rod]

“Paid promotion”
Well all integrity goes out the window

[InvokerGray]

I like that program "Shut down" . It saved me money on the power bill.

[TheNoctuaNF-AxFan]

I screamed when I saw that Piriform also made Recuva.

*Realizes that Piriform also made Speccy*

HELP

[fearlesssldr]

excellent video, as usual. thanks Joe for helping us all learn a bunch of useful and time-saving (and interesting) stuff. look forward to your next videos!

[blockbros]

half of the people watching this video use discord

[cakeroll]

Ill probably use F.lux and Rainmeter and DaVinci Resolve these look awesome. And btw we all know what discord is we dont live in a cave XD

[AkashSaggar]

DaVinci Resolve is definitely a great video editor, but it doesn't support MP3 audio which is a big put off. You have to convert the audio to something else like OGG.

Me: accidentally deletes a important file
Recuva: I’m here to help

[TotoFrancey]

The problem with LibreOffice is that much of the code is still written in JAVA by programmers who don't have a lot of experience. Often components don't work as they should especially in the database. The Open Document Foundation needs to be more aggressive with the removal of JAVA components from this software truly separating it from its parent openOffice.

Had to get Recuva after the Win10 upgrade stole all my desktop files. Piriform is a pretty good developer, but it made me so sad to find so many of my beloved files drowning in a sea of technicolour and text code overwrite. But I did find them, even only so I could finally put them out of their overwritten misery. Thanks for the list here, Joe :)
