Congratulations! You just unwrapped a new Windows 10 PC for the holidays! Now you’re wondering what the best apps are to install on your new machine. Fortunately, we’re here to help, with some of our top picks to try out on your new PC.
We’ve rounded up our favorite and most-used apps and utilities for the technology we use every day. Check out our other picks for iPhones, Android phones, PCs, and Macs. We’ve also listed our favorite games for iOS and Android from this year.
Wunderlist
Over the break, take some time to get organized and ready for the new year. It’s hard to go wrong with to-do app Wunderlist, and the full-featured app has reminders, due dates, and perhaps most importantly, it seamlessly syncs across iOS, Android, Mac, and when you need it, the web.
Available for download from the Windows Store.
Lightshot
Windows 10 has a great Snipping Tool built-in, but Lightshot makes things even easier to share a screenshot with some annotations. You can even assign the app to use the default PrtScn button on a keyboard, and have it automatically upload and copy the URL to the clipboard to make it easy to share screenshots on social networks, in emails, and over messaging apps. Best of all, it’s free.
