2. Disk Drill Windows Data Recovery

Have you ever deleted an important file (or perhaps an entire folder) by accident and then emptied your recycling bin without thinking? Or, have you had an antivirus program delete one of your important files or folders because it thought the file was malicious? Maybe you can’t even find it using Windows system restore or other solutions. That’s what Disk Drill Windows Data Recovery is designed to solve. It’s a program to allow you to recover missing or deleted data or files and works with more than 200 different types of Windows files.

3. DirectX 11

DirectX 11 (which is often abbreviated as DX11) is a collection of drivers that are distributed by Microsoft and provide a better audio and visual experience for Windows users. While this tool is awesome for all users who use their systems for music, movies, or other audio and video activities, it’s especially helpful for improving the gaming experience on your PC.

4. SHAREit

As the name would indicate, SHAREit gives you the ability to transfer files from one type of device to another, such as from a mobile device like your phone, tablet, or notebook computer to another computer, phone, or tablet. SHAREit works via a direct Wi-Fi connection and is capable of sending all types of files, including pictures and images, videos, apps and software, and more.

5. WinRAR

If you regularly work with RAR and/or ZIP files, WinRAR is a tool that allows you to create, open, compress, or decompress RAR and ZIP files. Compression saves space on your hard drive, but also makes files you need to transfer or share smaller so that they can be stored on a thumb drive or sent via email. You can even choose to protect your compressed file using 256-bit AES encryption.
