[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 340497, member: 2291"] Well, there's no the best software pack, I can just suggest you that you install Windows 7 (Choose edition that will fit your needs) 32bit, because of the RAM, 64bit Windows will get of use only if you have 4GB+ of RAM : [LIST] [*]Update your Windows after successful installation, to let it get all important and recommended updates. It will also try to find and install all the necessary drivers for your hardware. You can open Device Manager after that, to see if all the drivers are installed successfully. If not, try to go on official website of your hardware manufacturer (AMD in the case of your graphic card) and download official drivers from there. [*]Security of the computer is essential. There are a lot of free Antivirus programs that are sufficient in protecting the computer. One of them is Avast [*]Browser is your choice. Firefox and Google Chrome are the most popular and probably, next the Internet Explorer, the most secure. Add some extensions like Adblocker to improve security. [*]If you are going to use Google Chrome and update it to its latest version,there's no need to worry about using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. Chrome always has the latest version preinstalled in it. [*]Codec Packs will need you if you are going to play/encode/edit movies or video clips that are using third party containers and codecs, like h264, h265 HEVC, and others. K Lite Mega Codec Pack is one of good ones, if not the best. [*]Microsoft Office is the best office suite available, but it's not free. If you want a free alternative that does look alike, then WPS Office 2015 Free is a choice. Something different is LibreOffice. [*]SumatraPDF and Foxit Reader are good PDF handlers. [*]CCleaner. Probably the most downloaded software on the internet. For a reason. It will clean the junk from your system. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
