• Computer programs in Russian. What programs do I install on a new computer?

    I’ll give criticism from myself both in relation to the topicstarter and in relation to the enemy)

    1. Firewood - no comments here, they are needed. True, for starters (if possible), we update Windows via Windows update (as for Windows 7 and everything above), a good half of the firewood is installed, and that’s all. Why do you need to install firewood from the off-site and the latest ones on the video card (otherwise you won’t work properly) and on the sound card (if it’s not built-in and you’re a hell of a sound guy)))) There are, of course, cases that none of the methods given the author is not suitable for any crap (like USB controller 3.0 on an all-in-one motherboard, and there’s no damn disk in the box, and the firewood is on the offsite current on Win10 x64, and on the all-in-one all-in-one, 7 x86 should be installed, but without firewood, 2 USB ports don’t work, DRPs don’t help and you have to look for the controller chip and slip in a different driver altogether, but the main thing is that everything works) But this is an exception.

    2. Browser, depending on who you like (someone surfs with Iklorer 5.0 and is fine with it). I won’t say anything against Edg, but browser extensions like AdBlock and BrowSec - well, have more fun with them.

    3. Antivirus. A separate topic, of course. A full-time user shouldn't live without it. I completely agree, in Win8-10 the built-in defender is generally a neat thing, it catches everything with a bang, I missed dr web, kaspersky, nod32, but the defender caught everything. Avira, Avast, Comodo and the like ( free versions, I didn’t test paid ones) it’s still trash, they let in viruses, and quite serious ones, after this I don’t install them and don’t recommend them to anyone. In general, in Windows 7 too (with latest updates) there is a built-in defender, but I can’t say anything about its operation, so if you have Windows 7, XP you need to install something like dr web, kaspersky, nod32.

    4. Archiver. Built-in archiver...hmm...to be honest, I see zip less often, but rar is more common, especially in a corporate environment. WinRar is paid, this is its main disadvantage, 7Zip is required to be installed, it reads just a lot of archive formats, it’s great to use as a console archiver for backup, easy and most importantly free.

    5. Codecs yes, definitely yes at home. Provided that you download movies somewhere and watch them on your computer. Among the population, this type of viewing is becoming a thing of the past. No one has been downloading films and TV series for a long time - they watch online, watch online on smart TV, watch online on a tablet, etc., etc. Codecs were relevant at the dawn of the development of peer-to-peer networks, when providers created their own local networks across cities/districts of the city and everyone hung in flylinkDC++, pumped up pyrobytes of films for themselves (which, by the way, they never watched), the films were in extremely different formats. Well, you can plug it into your home computer, just in case, but definitely not into your office computer. No codecs.

    6. PDF, I used it once back with version 4.0, in general I was satisfied with the interface and functionality, but in latest versions It has become very heavy, it is constantly breaking down to be updated, it launches its own services and in security reports it positions itself as an information collector on a par with Google, Apple, etc., so I am starting to abandon it. A good alternative to FoxitReader - light comfortable. Regarding djvu "and the masses different formats", I haven’t seen djvu for a long time (at the university there are only books on mathematical analysis and linear algebra were in this format), if anyone is really interested in heaps of books scanned in poor quality, then you can download djvu viewer without installation, but “mass of other formats” doesn’t even come to mind what it could be and who might need it.

    7. Office applications anyway (well, when installing, we select Word and Excel, the rest is of course not needed at home), on a corporate computer, plus PowerPoint and Outlook, by the way, you can also use the mailer at home, it’s a convenient thing. And there are so many documents on the net doc format and xls, so it’s impossible to live without an office and people often take work home to finish a sign, some document, or even a presentation. If you do everything according to Feng Shui (Feng Shui in the field of copyright), then set up an open office - it will fit right into your home.

    8. Disk images. Here UltraIso (by the way, paid, if anything) is needed by administrators, enikeys and others like them, and usually at work or for work purposes, it’s very good at collecting system images (the required wim archive is added to the original msdn image), boot disks are being recorded (and in vain the critic shouts that the discs are like mammoth shit and we are all suckers here, this is a hot topic in enterprises, and in some places even necessary - where the computers are categorized, who knows will understand), bootable flash drives etc. The average user doesn’t need UltraIso, especially since he needs to crack it additionally. “Win10-8 works with images out of the box - you’re all suckers” the question is broader than it might seem, on present moment 7% - market share of Windows XP, 50% - market share of Windows 7 (MacOS - 9%, *nix - 2%), draw conclusions about how it works from the box with images))) Almost all games are included in iso images, so at home DTLite won’t be superfluous for me; at work I don’t need it.

    9. Skype is a rather individual thing, if you communicate with relatives from another city, then yes (or at work you organize something like a conference between branches). And now everyone is on telegram and wats"up, there are even video calls on mobile phones (:-D even the mail agent has it) and cellular communication has become quite cheap.

    10.Torrent. Well, at home, yes, everyone seems to use this thing, but at work, of course not. some other incomprehensible rocking chairs are not needed, there are enough built-in ones in browsers. Still, we don’t download IE 4.0 via the dial-up channel (just don’t disconnect, just don’t disconnect!!! aaaaa!!! if anyone remembers Masyanya))))

    12. Flash player. Well, if you’re into watching videos of all sorts of shit on the Internet, then you can put it on, but at work, definitely not.

    13. Player. Yeah, if you bet K-lite codecs, then the MPC player should be installed with them ( media player classic), a great thing, IMHO you don’t need an extra hat on your computer, and the player built into Windows is also ok.

    14. Well, recording discs...again, Nero (I have nothing against an excellent program in its class) - it’s paid (copyrights, feng shui and all that). Just burn a disc or a disc with music - Windows (starting from 7) and the built-in player handle this perfectly. If you really want something special, that is free analogue BurnAwareFree is a normal theme. There is also freemake video converter - it burns discs, DVD can make menus and navigation.

    15. Punto Switcher- well, it tastes. I always set this for myself, though only at work; at home she didn’t give up. Unless someone types a lot of something (well, that is, works at home). In general, a convenient thing.

    16. Remote access. Again teamviewer and ammy admin paid. If you want to work even harder helping everyone. This is if you have some kind of outsourced office, then yes, these programs are needed (oh my God, a violation of copyright and feng shui). And the enterprise has RDP. In general, there is one at home (if there is a white IP, of course), but at home I don’t recommend allowing it.

    IN this set provided a list of the most necessary programs, which are perfect for installation on new laptop or a device with a new Windows operating system.

    Good antivirus protection

    1 The first thing you need to install is, of course, good protection.

This program has everything necessary tools for efficient and safe browsing on the Internet.

    Good file archiver

    4 To play music and watch videos, we recommend that you pay attention to player KMPlayer and AIMP player. By downloading and installing the proposed programs for working with multimedia files, you can easily listen to music and watch any video, without the need to additionally install codecs.

    Optimization

    5 During use and installation additional programs on a laptop, the system accumulates various unnecessary information and recordings that load your computer and significantly slow it down. For such cases, we recommend downloading special utility CCleaner, a program for cleaning and optimizing the system. With this application you can easily delete all unnecessary entries and junk files, which accumulate when active use laptop.

    Here are 5 essential programs that should be installed on your laptop. If this list does not satisfy your needs, then you can always use our website and select from the list all those applications that you want to download to your computer.

    Additional software and programs are an integral part of absolutely any computer. Immediately after installing the new operating system or after purchasing a new device, users tend to install dozens useful applications that perform their functions. Most often installed: browsers, useful drivers, antiviruses, and many others. But beginners immediately have a reasonable question - how to safely and quickly install necessary software? How not to pick up viruses and ruin the normal operation of the device? We will now try to answer these and many other questions.

    So, we have a completely clean desktop, there is only the “Trash” and standard browser. How can we install necessary drivers and programs? First you need to go online. If you can’t do this easily, you may be missing necessary drivers and you will have to install them from a disk or drive. But that's another story.


    So that no one has any questions, let’s look at the installation step by step using an example. popular browser- Mozilla

    Installing the Mozila browser

    2. Click on “Download” and select your operating system and its bit depth. The system capacity can be viewed in the computer properties.

    3. The file will download. The download speed directly depends on two factors - the speed of your Internet connection and the weight of the file. Wait for the download to finish and open the file.

    4. Most likely, the system will warn you about the possible danger of the file, because it was obtained from the Internet. But don’t be too scared, if you actually downloaded from the developers’ site, then the program is not dangerous. Click "Yes". And we continue.

    5. The installation has started. We'll go to the installation window. We need to select the language we need, in our case Russian.
    6. We are asked to select a location on the drive where the program itself will be stored. Usually they are installed on drive D, and another partition is allocated to the system, but this is not important.

    7. License Agreement. This should be noted as a separate point. Most people are afraid of it because they ask you to agree to something. You shouldn't be afraid of him. This is some kind of agreement between the copyright holder, that is, the developer and you. Of course, you need to read it, because it may contain important information regarding the distribution and use of this software, including for commercial purposes. Study it carefully and check the appropriate box.
    8. When the installation begins, a bar will appear that will gradually fill in green as the installation progresses. You may also see progress percentages, this makes the process even simpler, clearer and more convenient.

    4. A license agreement that you need to read, understand the important aspects and accept.
    5. Selecting an installation location. There will be a folder with the application and all its data.
    6. Installation process. Its duration will depend on the power of your computer and the program being installed and its system requirements.

    Important! During the installation process, you may be asked to install additional software that you may not need. Be sure to pay attention to the add-ons that software developers offer you to install. Sometimes it can even be search engines that you don't use. To control this process, always select the full installation.

    How to find the installation file

    What to do if you have downloaded installation file program, but you can't find it. You need to go to the “Downloads” folder. To do this:


    How to install something from disk

    It is not necessary to download from a website on the Internet; some people still use drives or disks. The installation algorithm will be slightly different.


    What you definitely shouldn't do

    There is also a small list of actions that clearly should not be done if you are concerned about the safety and normal operation device


    What applications are installed on my PC

    It is imperative to get rid of unnecessary data and its parts, but how and where to look for it?

    This can be done in two ways - using the system itself or using third-party software.

    Method 1. Through the control panel, in the “Uninstall or change a program” list


    Method 2. Through CCleaner

    This convenient application will also show you a list and allow you to quickly and easily remove everything you don't need.


    Using revo to remove

    Paid applications

    Beginner users are often faced with the fact that they cannot easily get millions of programs and games for free; they have to pay for them. Please note that software can be divided into at least 3 types:


    Video - How to install the program on your computer

    This article will be useful for beginners who have recently begun to master the computer. Most applications, when downloaded from the Internet, are one or more files that need to be installed or unzipped and installed in order to be able to work with them. Here we will talk about how to install utilities on your device.

    Installation of a program downloaded from the Internet

    You can find anything you want on the Internet. Not surprisingly, most software is downloaded from here. After all, here you can easily find how free programs And trial versions for all occasions, as well as professional and expensive software. However, the user should know that programs are best downloaded from official website developer. This will help prevent various malware and advertisers from getting onto your computer. Data obtained from global network can be presented in several formats:

    • Files that have exe/msi extension. This is the main file format that starts the installation. Such a utility can weigh a lot and contain all the necessary components at once, so it can be used on other devices where there is no Internet. It can also take up a small amount of space, while all the necessary data that is required during the installation process will be downloaded from the network.
    • Data from ISO/MDF/MDS extension. These are image files from disks, which, in essence, are clones of disks in electronic format. Additional software may be required to read them.
    • Archives, which are files with zip/rar extension or others similar. Inside the archive there may be regular program an installer that will need to be launched, or there may be a utility inside that does not require installation and can be used immediately after extraction.

    Files with exe and msi extensions

    After downloading such a file, you need to double-click on it. After this it will start installation program, in which you will need to follow the instructions. In the process, you will have to choose the location where the program will be installed, as well as where to create shortcuts. Possible selection of components the utility itself. It’s worth paying close attention to all the checkboxes and reading what exactly they set. Some of them are worth removing because they may be responsible for installation third party programs, such as browsers/search bars, etc.

    It is possible that the application will not require installation and will launch immediately after the user double-clicks on it. In this case, you can move it from the downloads to a more convenient place, and then use it as usual.

    Programs archived in zip and rar

    After downloading, data with this extension will be required extract from archive. To do this, you can use one of the free programs.

    After unzipping, you need to find the EXE file in the extracted folder and run it. May open the right application, or the installation process will begin. What to do in these cases is described in the previous section.

    Installing applications from disk

    This category includes both real discs purchased in a store and virtual images, which were downloaded from the Internet. In the first case, the disc will need to be inserted into the drive, after which you will need to find the installation file. In the second case, you will first need to download a special program for mounting images and install it. After which, you should open the image through it.

    Typically, when you start the disk, installation begins automatically. If this does not happen, then you need to go to this disk and find the installer file there, which has exe extension ormsi and run it.

    View programs installed on your computer

    The computer has a special built-in utility that will allow you to display a list of all programs that are installed in at the moment. However, it will not show those that did not require installation. To launch it you need to press keyboard shortcutsWin+R(win is the key on which the Windows logo is depicted), after which, in the window that opens, enter appwiz.cpl and click OK.

    After this, a window will open showing all installed applications. Here you can delete them; to do this, click on the name of the utility and select “Delete” in the top menu.

    An operating system is an environment used to operate and interact with software. But before using various kinds of applications, they must be installed. For most users, this will not be difficult, but for those who are new to computers, this process may cause problems. The article will give step by step guide on installing programs on a computer, solutions will also be offered for automatic installation applications and drivers.

    To install a program or game, use an installer or, as it is also called, an installer. He may be on installation disk or you can download it from the Internet. The software installation process can be divided into stages, which is what will be done in this article. But unfortunately, depending on the installer, these steps may differ, and some may be completely absent. Therefore, if following the instructions you notice that you do not have a window, then simply move on.

    It is also worth saying that appearance The installer may vary greatly, but the instructions will apply to everyone equally.

    Step 1: Run the installer

    Any installation begins by running the application installation file. As already mentioned, you can download it from the Internet or it may already be on disk (local or optical). In the first case, everything is simple - you need to open the folder in "Explorer", where you downloaded it, and double-click on the file.

    Note: in some cases, the installation file needs to be opened as an administrator; to do this, right-click on it (RMB) and select the item of the same name.

    If the installation will be performed from a disk, then first insert it into the disk drive, and then follow these steps:


    There are also cases when you download from the Internet not an installation file, but an ISO image, in which case it must be mounted. This is done using special programs, such as or . Now we will give instructions on how to mount the image in DAEMON Tools Lite:


    After this, a window will appear on the screen "Account Control", in which you will need to click "Yes", if you are sure that the program does not contain malicious code.

    Step 2: Select Language

    In some cases, this step can be skipped; it all depends directly on the installer. You will see a window with a drop-down list in which you need to select the installer language. In some cases, Russian may not be in the list, then select English and click "OK". Further in the text, examples of two installer localizations will be given.

    Step 3: Getting to know the program

    After you have selected the language, the first window of the installer itself will appear on the screen. It describes the product that will be installed on your computer, provides installation recommendations, and offers further actions. There are only two buttons to choose from, you need to press "Next"/"Next".

    Step 4: Select Installation Type

    This stage is not present in all installers. Before proceeding directly to installing the application, you must select its type. Often in this case there are two buttons in the installer "Tune"/"Customization" And "Install"/"Install". After selecting a button for installation, all subsequent steps will be skipped, up to the twelfth. But after selecting the advanced installer settings, you will be given the opportunity to independently specify many parameters, ranging from selecting the folder into which the application files will be copied, and ending with the choice of additional software.

    Step 5: Accept the License Agreement

    Before you begin setting up the installer, you must accept license agreement, having familiarized yourself with it in advance. Otherwise, you cannot continue installing the application. Different installers perform this action differently. In some you just need to press "Next"/"Next", and in others before this you will need to put the switch in position "I accept the terms of the agreement"/"I accept the terms in the License Agreement" or something similar in content.

    Step 6: Selecting a folder for installation

    This step is mandatory in every installer. You need to indicate in the appropriate field the path to the folder where the application will be installed. And you can do this with two in different ways. The first is to enter the path manually, the second is to press the button "Review"/"Browse" and put it in "Explorer". You can also leave the default installation folder, in which case the application will be located on disk "C" in a folder "Program Files". Once all actions have been completed, you need to press the button "Next"/"Next".

    Note: for correct operation Some applications require that there be no Russian letters on the path to the final directory, that is, all folders must have a name written in English.

    Step 7: Selecting a Folder from the Start Menu

    It’s worth saying right away that this stage is sometimes combined with the previous one.

    They are practically no different from each other. You need to specify the name of the folder that will be located in the menu "Start", from where you can launch the application. As last time, you can enter the name yourself by changing the name in the corresponding column, or click "Review"/"Browse" and specify it via "Conductor". After entering a name, click the button "Next"/"Next".

    You can also refuse to create this folder by checking the box next to the appropriate item.

    Step 8: Selecting Components

    When installing programs that contain many components, you will be asked to select them. At this stage you will have a list in front of you. By clicking on the name of one of the elements, you can see its description to understand what it is responsible for. All you need to do is check the boxes next to the components you want to install. If you cannot fully understand what exactly this or that item is responsible for, then leave everything as is and click "Next"/"Next", by default the optimal configuration is already selected.

    Step 9: Selecting File Associations

    If the program you are installing interacts with files of different extensions, you will be prompted to select those file formats, which will be launched in the installed program by double click LMB. As in the previous step, you also need to check the box next to the items in the list and click the button "Next"/"Next".

    Step 10: Create Shortcuts

    In this step, you can locate the application shortcuts that are required to launch it. Usually it can be placed on "Desktop" and in the menu "Start". All you need to do is check the appropriate boxes and click "Next"/"Next".

    Step 11: Install additional software

    It’s worth saying right away that this step can happen either later or earlier. It will ask you to install additional software. Most often this happens in unlicensed applications. In any case, it is recommended to refuse the proposed option, since in themselves they are useless and will only clog up the computer, and in some cases, viruses will spread in this way. To do this, you need to uncheck all the boxes and press the button "Next"/"Next".

    Step 12: Review the report

    Setting up the installer parameters is almost complete. Now you will see a report of all the actions you have performed previously. At this step, you need to double-check the information provided and, if there is a discrepancy, click "Back"/"Back" to change settings. If everything is exactly as you indicated, then press "Install"/"Install".

    Step 13: Application Installation Process

    Now you have a bar in front of you that displays the progress of installing the application into the previously specified folder. All you need to do is wait until it is completely filled green. By the way, at this stage you can press the button "Cancel"/"Cancel", if you change your mind about installing the program.

    Step 14: Finish installation

    A window will appear in front of you, informing you that the application has been installed successfully. As a rule, only one button is active in it - "Finish"/"Finish", after clicking which the installer window will close and you can start using the newly installed software. But in some cases there is a point "Run program now"/"Launch program now". If there is a mark next to it, then after pressing the previously mentioned button, the application will launch immediately.

    Also sometimes there will be a button "Reboot Now". This happens if for correct operation installed application The computer needs to be restarted. It is advisable to complete it, but you can do it later by clicking the appropriate button.

    After completing all the steps described above, the selected software will be installed on your computer and you can immediately begin using it. Depending on the actions taken previously, the program shortcut will be located on "Desktop" or in the menu "Start". If you refuse to create it, then you must launch it directly from the directory you chose to install the application.

    Software installation programs

    In addition to the above method of installing programs, there is another one that involves the use of special software. All you need is to install this software and install other applications using it. There are many such programs, and each of them is good in its own way. We have a special article on our website that contains a list of them and a brief description.

    We will look at the use of such software using an example. By the way, you can install it using the instructions given above. To install the program, after launching the application you need to do the following:

    1. Go to the tab "Packages".

    2. In the field "Status" put the switch on the item "All".

    3. From the dropdown list "Category" Select the category that the software you are looking for belongs to. If you wish, you can also define a subcategory by selecting it from the list of the same name.

    4. In the list of all found programs, left-click on the one you are looking for.

      Note: if you know the exact name of the program, you can skip all the above steps by entering it in the field "Search" and pressing Enter.

    5. Click the button "Install", located on top panel. You can perform the same action via context menu or using hotkeys Ctrl+I.

    6. Wait for the download and installation process of the selected program to complete. By the way, this entire process can be tracked on the tab "Tasks".

    After this, the program you have chosen will be installed on your PC. As you can see, the main advantage of using such a program is that there is no need to go through all the steps that are in the usual installer. You just need to select the application to install and click "Install", after this everything will happen in automatic mode. The only disadvantage is that some applications may not be on the list, but this is compensated by the ability to add them yourself.
