The Software I Use
I get lots of questions about what the best software for various situations may be. I can't answer them all, particularly as it often depends on your own situation, but I can tell you what I'm using.

While it's great for mobile platforms, I don't think it's matured enough for desktops while it's alternatives seem to perform better.Cant find anything better than Antutu benchmark tool for both windows and android.
How many GBs?Whats the recommended files/folders backup software?
I'm using this. I like it because I can temporarily put the updated file in the trash instead of overwriting it.Whats the recommended files/folders backup software?
No, it's terrible. You're much better off with a free version of a big name antivirus such as Avast/AVG or Kaspersky."Clamwin" free antivirus seems to be good as what i read on Internet.
I have been more charmed by ImageGlass. rather than irfanview. Been using is since 2012.![]()
Whats the recommended files/folders backup software?
This is also good. It's a bit like the photo viewer of win7, and it can be operated mainly by keyboard.Awesome.
For general daily file backups to a flash drive: DSynchronizeWhats the recommended files/folders backup software?
No not the disk imagers. I meant software that do data backups like freefilesync, dsynchronize, syncfolders etc. I think you should put one in your list too.
- Disk Imaging - AOMEI Backupper Standard
CCleaner Pro.Is there any free good Driver updaters except Iobit?
I wouldn't be the best judge here since I'm using Linux 90% of the time for the past 2 years, and the rest 10% goes to Windows for nostalgia.No not the disk imagers. I meant software that do data backups like freefilesync, dsynchronize, syncfolders etc. I think you should put one in your list too.
I suppose Aomei can do data backups too but not in a storage efficient way like these software do. Correct me if I'm wrong there.
Driver Easy and Smart Driver Manager (which is also published under many different names) both can be used for free and do much better at finding the correct drivers than other driver updaters, as explained below. So in my opinion they are two best driver updaters there are. But unless you are having issues with a device, or you have devices with no driver installed, or a generic Microsoft driver rather than the correct OEM one, there's often little need to keep drivers updated. I believe that free version of Smart Driver Manager only lets you update around ten drivers. But you can uninstall and reinstall it to install more drivers. This won't be an issue if you are only updating drivers you think you really need to update, rather than installing every update it finds.Is there any free good Driver updaters except Iobit?
