Windows 7 Desktop - Important Software

Assalamu'alaikum,

I would like share my list of useful software which I feel "can't leave without it" for my windows 7 laptop.

Every time I got a new laptop I need to install these software to ensure that I can work smoothly as I normally do. And when I borrowing somebodies machine, I will miss most of them very much.

They are really helpful in day to day activities on the laptop and best of all, they are all free!'
