Thank you. Great video. I had problems with open office which was sluggish. I followed your advice, installed Libre Office and now it all works fine now.
There aren't too many reasons to upgrade to the full version because the free version has mostly everything. Also the full price is a lot cheaper than a lot of other software
A free software I use every day is Dexpot. It creates up to 20 desktops (I use only 11). I created shortcuts to switch desktops (Ctrl Numpad 1, Ctrl Numpad 2, etc.). Every desktop is independent of the others and has it's own windows (whatever I open there). The desktop icons do not change and are available on all desktops. How do I use it? I always open email on desk 4 and internet browser on desk 6. I have OneNote open on desk 5 with my action plans. Desk 7 is reserved for mindmaps when I am planning. Desks 1 & 2 are my primary work desktops for spreadsheets and Word docs. This is great because when I am working on a spreadsheet project on Desk 2, I hit Ctrl Numpad 4 shortcut and my Outlook email instantly appears on its own desktop. A glance checks for new emails then Ctrl LeftArrow instantly pops me back to my previous desktop and my spreadsheet. Very fast. Very customizable. And fun to use, too! All for free!

I have PD14. Posted a lot of money for something I could already do in Lightworks. Hit Film has a free version as well. It's more for the creative editors, since it focuses on SFX. They will release a different version now and then with a new set of FX just for that version.
BelArc Advisor - for when you have to redo a client's PC and he/she does not have any idea what software- & hardware version, serial keys and statistics they have.
Free software has its place and I will always use it if it solves my problems. Open source may not always be free but it's usually worth the price. Some may say open source is always free but there are exceptions. In reality none is totally free you in most cases need to spend time using open source and for many time is money.
@@ronb6182 I do agree. However, many times free software if is not open-source, may have security or privacy problems that users are not aware. I've seen many virus, worms, data collectors, etc in free software (specially, but not only, on mobile platforms). I have nothing against free software, but if source is not publicly available, I tend to avoid it.
I love Handbrake but they had to switch to really crappy AAC encoder on newer versions to keep it free. I either have to use a really old one or switch to AC3. MP3 crashes for some reason, wish I could just keep the mp4 files standard with AAC. Basic in/out point editing would be a huge help too.
Very interesting and well presented. Only one criticism: it ends suddenly and the next video jumps in (from my UA-cam "Watch Later" list). Some uploaders have got smart -- they leave at least a 5-second 'tail' of silence and blank screen at the end of their video, so its impact is strengthened, and not 'crowded out' by the next video (by someone else) 'crowding out' theirs.

The first computer, H.P., that I had, came with a free photo editor called Dr. Watson. I really liked it and wished that I had known how to have saved a copy of it. At the time, my main reason, for having a computer, was for e mail.
Davinci Resolve for video editing. Includes color grading and digital compositing. Very steep learning curve, but worth it.
DaVinci Resolve definitely needed a mention as it is completely free yet powerful enough to compete with the big guns of non-linear editors.

AllwaySync - backup folder when you plug in a specific USB drive (shareware)
Pathsync - my favorite ad-hoc folder synchronisation utility
HashTab - compare and generate checksums for files via the context menu
MultiPar - create parity files for very important data files
Everything - superb replacement for the buggy Windows Indexing Service
VirusTotalUploader - context menu for submiting questionable files to VirusTotal
Hardwipe - context menu for secure erasing files/folders (technically its adware)
Universal USB Installer - create bootable USB sticks with Linux/free diagnostic utilities the easy way
AOMEI PE Builder - run windows off a USB stick or DVD
Speccy - find part numbers and specs of the bits inside your computer without taking it apart
Nirsoft - their various free utilities will save your bacon again and again, if you have to administer Microsoft Outlook installations
CheatEngine - cause some singleplayer games are hard
Magic Jelly Ben Keyfinder - retrieve license keys from the Windows registry
EaseUS Partition Master Free - create/alter/delete drive partitions the easy way
Unchecky - because users install random stuff and can not be trusted to op-out of the adware payload
Desktop Restore - save/restore icon positions via the context menu
+SUMMONER speccy sounds cool!
Everything I use this file, folder finder all the time!
Faststone image editor and photo manager, will do sub folders but you have to scour the menus to find the box to tick.
Love the Techmoan music in the background

7-zip: Small open source archiving utility. Pretty good compression. Only understands a few formats (7z, zip, bzip, tar, xz and WIM I think). If you want something that can unzip almost anything, you'll need something else.
Is there any programs that will help pull inform as tion from 3.5 floppy? I have a floppy drive and have tried, but it cant read it.

I only use Photoshop (or Krita), WordPerfect Office x9, Lightworks, The American Girls Premiere 2nd Edition and PhotoParade during my school projects

The first computer, H.P., that I had, came with a free photo editor called Dr. Watson. I really liked it and wished that I had known how to have saved a copy of it. At the time, my main reason, for having a computer, was for e mail.
