Have you ever thought what a laborious task it is installing apps on to your new Windows desktop PC or laptop? Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to speed up the process, to select the ones that you want from a simple checklist, and then have them install automatically all at once.
The answer you've been looking for is called Ninite, and while it may not have every program you're after, there's a reasonably extensive list to get you started. In this video we'll be looking at how the process works, and running through this using its custom installer.
Along the way, I'll give a quick introduction to some of my favourite free apps. Then we'll finish by seeing how easy it is to keep all of this great software up to date.

Great video, though i'm not a windows user or i should say the last version i used was xp, would you recommend a free virus scanner ? And maybe as you seem knowledgeable in windows, what advantage is there in registering windows 10 as i was under the impression it was free

[@bytemypi2918]

Thank you. I guess you've seen the light and switched to Linux - or did you move to the dark side (Apple)! If you're referring to Windows 10, I'd just stick with the built-in antivirus software. You can download Windows 10 for free, but to continue using it beyond the grace period, without any annoying activation prompts, it will still need activating. If you have a Windows 7 license key, you'll probably be able to use that, as Microsoft don't appear to have turned off the free upgrade (shh, don't tell anyone).

Have u tried chocolatey?

[@bytemypi2918]

I used it briefly a couple of years ago to get a specific version of software I needed for a 3D printer. Thanks for reminding me it exists.

@@bytemypi2918 ive mentioned it to you coment on which one of them both you prefer. I think chocolatey is/was open source btw

[@bytemypi2918]

@@RafaCoringaProducoes I think Chocolatey is more like a Linux package manager but for Windows, so it wouldn't surprise me if its open source.
