There are occasions in which I get a new computer or need to reinstall an operating system for whatever reason. The following is a list of software (and other things) I use on a regular basis for each system. These are gathered here for ease-of-access whenever I need to reference them again.
Software
For the most part, I believe most of the software download locations are the same for every OS, but I may add OS-specific links below.
Utilities / Drivers
For the most part, it seems Windows Update can mostly find and install the correct drivers for most of the hardware. Apart from that, here are some things I may want to install separately.
