For my hobbies I got a PC from the basement and so that I know what I need for a new installation, here is a list of my installed programs and tools:
- Windows 10 Pro Edition
Oh, come on. I have had no other version around. - Arduino IDE 1.8.5 (arduino.cc)
The IDE for programming the Arduino-Systems - CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers (Silabs.com)
The Drivers for the NodeMCU / ESP-12E CP2102 - Filezilla FTP-Client (filezilla-project.org)
FTP-Client to manage my up- and downloads - HP Support Assistent
Nice tool for my HP DeskPro 490 GP2 MT for installing all those needed Drivers automatically - MakerBot Desktop (makerbot.com)
Software for Managing my MakerBot Clone from CTC - WinApe (winape.net)
A nice CPC-Emulator for Windows - iTunes and iCloud (apple.de)
As i like to listen to music, and also sometimes i need some images from my iCloud, thats the sofware i use for 🙂 - Firefox Browser
As an alternative to the installed Microsoft Edge - Rufus (rufus.akeo.ie)
Simple ISO->USB to create bootable USB-sticks
I will add more software to that list as i install it on my system 🙂
