Thought I Would Share With You Three Great Free Software Ideas
All of these programs I have personally and many of my customers have used. None of them have any unwanted, damaging, viruses or spyware no ads and no tracking software come along with there downloads. And yes these programs are free however it never hurts if you keep and use them to make a small donation to the developers. You can always find a donation button on their websites.
VLC (Audio & Video)
https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
The VLC media player is a free and open-source, portable and cross-platform media player and streaming media server developed by the Video LAN project. VLC plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. VLC is a much better media player than anything Microsoft has released. VLC will play about any audio and video format you may come across. When an audio or video will not play in Microsoft Media Player or MS Grove Player or anything else VLC will open and play it. One of the main things I like about VLC other than free is I can easily convert Mac / Apple Auto Files ( MPEG-4 & AAC) to MP3 file format that I am capable of playing on my PC without having to install or use iTunes. VLC is so much more than just an Audio / Video player.
LibreOffice (Word Processing, Spreadsheets, and More)
www.libreoffice.org
LibreOffice Looks a lot like and works like Microsoft Office Suite. If you have any familiarity with MS Office, you will have no problem with LibreOffice. LibreOffice includes several applications that make a very powerful office suite. It has word processing (MS Word), spreadsheets (MS Excel), presentations (PowerPoint), Draw & databases (Access). If you need to share a file from LibreOffice with someone that has MS Office. MS Office will open and edit LibreOffice files with no problem. And LibreOffice will also open and edit any MS Office files.
One thing OpenOffice does not have that MS Office Suite has is an Email client.
That brings me to my next outstanding FREE software.
