Windows 10 and macOS: Here are the six apps I install first

Here are the six apps I install first, whether I'm setting up a Windows 10 PC or a Mac.

I love lists like this. It is a good way to check in and see what others are thinking about.

What are your favorite utilities for PC or MAC?

I use Chrome, Last Pass, and VLC from this list.

Parallel tools could probably replace Irfanview for images. It is fast and lightweight. 

For grabbing images off the screen the built-in Microsoft-Snip is hard to beat.

Be sure to setup the keyboard shortcuts

Authy could maybe replace Google and MSFT authenticator apps

I don't use a VPN yet. Maybe I should?

Of course, for antivirus I use Norton. There are lots of others out there but Norton is bulletproof. One license will cover the entire family.
