EASEUS Partition Master <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/easeuspartitionmanager.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <a href="http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm" target="_blank">EASEUS partition manager</a>  is a nifty tool to create and manage disk partitions on Windows  systems. Even if you created partitions during the setup process, and  know how to <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/681/create-partition-windows-disk-management/" target="_blank">use the disk management console to create partitions</a>,  I’d recommend you download and keep this tool. That’s because it offers  some amazing features like resize, merge or split partitions, convert  FAT to NTFS, convert primary partition to logical and vice versa, and  much more. The personal edition of the tool is free. It has professional and business editions too. 2. PC Decrapifier <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/pcdecrapifier.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Most  of the branded laptops and desktops come bloated with proprietary (and  useless) software which you should get rid of if you want your computer  to function properly in the long run. Hence the old and trusted <a href="http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/home" target="_blank">PC Decrapifier</a>  becomes a must-install software for new Windows computer owners to weed  out junk software and make space for better stuff. Here’s our <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/1416/clean-up-new-system-pc-decrapifier/" target="_blank">guide on cleaning up a new PC with PC Decrapifier</a>. 3. Macrium Reflect or Windows Backup and Restore <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/macriumreflect.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> We have previously talked about the <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/5382/system-image-windows/" target="_blank">importance of creating a system image</a> and how to create it using the built-in Windows backup and restore center (you should also create a <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/3816/system-repair-recovery-disc-windows-7/" target="_blank">system repair disc</a>). Now, this might not be available in all editions of Windows so I’d suggest a worthy, and more powerful alternative called <a href="http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp" target="_blank">Macrium Reflect</a>. Use it to create an initial system image, and for other such tasks as you start using the computer. 4. Ninite <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/ninite.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <a href="http://ninite.com/" target="_blank">Ninite</a>  will cover the “how to install” part when installing new stuff on your  PC. This all-in-one installer lets you pick software and install them at  one go. And the choices of course are very diverse. Check out our  previous guide on <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/1369/how-to-batch-install-programs-on-your-pc-with-ninite/" target="_blank">batch installing programs with Ninite</a>. 5. Revo Uninstaller <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/revouninstaller.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <a href="http://www.revouninstaller.com/" target="_blank">Revo Uninstaller</a>  remains my tool of choice to clean uninstall applications and programs  from my Windows PC. It’s far better than the default Add/Remove programs  tool. A must-have software for sure. Check out our guide on <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/457/revo-uninstaller/" target="_blank">using Revo Uninstaller to uninstall programs</a>. 6. CCleaner <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/ccleaner.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> You didn’t think I’d give a miss to <a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/download" target="_blank">CCleaner</a>  in this list, did you? I am yet to find a better tool to perform a  routine PC maintenance and get rid of temporary files and data. The tool  is as amazing as it ever was. In fact, better, as it continues to be  regularly updated. And as you’d have guessed, we wrote a <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/824/ccleaner-cleanup-windows-pc/" target="_blank">guide on using CCleaner</a> too. 7. Microsoft Security Essentials <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/mssecurityessentials.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/" target="_blank">Microsoft Security Essentials</a>  might go down in history as one of the best free software released by  this tech giant. This tool has given a number of antivirus vendors,  especially those who provide full-fledged free versions, a run for their  money. It can protect your PC from viruses, spyware and malware. 8. Dropbox or Syncback SE <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/dropbox.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The thing about <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/tag/backup/" target="_blank">data backup</a>  is that people tend to procrastinate on it, which ultimately ends up in  a crisis situation when they have lost important data, and had no  backup whatsoever. Hence an online backup tool like <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/3656/dropbox-file-backup-sync/" target="_blank">Dropbox</a>, and an offline sync and backup tool like <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/2530/use-syncback-to-backup-and-restore-data/" target="_blank">Syncback SE</a>  is included in this list of immediate installations for a new PC. Get  either, or both of them. I use both – Dropbox for online backup and  Syncback to keep my data synchronized with an external hard drive. 9. Recuva <img src="http://cdn.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2011/01/recuva.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <a href="http://www.piriform.com/recuva" target="_blank">Recuva</a>  is an excellent (and free) software to recover deleted files. But why  do we need it now? That’s because there’s a lot of deleting and  uninstalling happening with CCleaner, Revo Uninstaller, PC Decrapifier  and all. If you suddenly delete something that you shouldn’t, and then  want to recover it, you would have this tool to fall back on. Our <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/2154/recover-deleted-files-recuva/" target="_blank">tutorial on using Recuva</a> will provide more information on using this tool. 10. VLC and Chrome / Firefox Lastly, but by no means the leastly (or least, whatever), we have our usual suspects – <a href="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/" target="_blank">VLC media player</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/chrome" target="_blank">Chrome</a> and / or <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/" target="_blank">Firefox</a>,  which I am clubbing together in the same point. Oh, and you don’t need  to install these separately because Ninite will take care of that. Just  make sure that you tick their names in Ninite before you start off with  the installation. And while you are at it, check out our <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/tag/chrome/" target="_blank">posts on Chrome</a> and <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/tag/firefox/" target="_blank">Firefox</a>. </blockquote>
