windows-environment-setup

A batch script to reduce the hassle of downloading all software when reinstalling the Windows OS regardless of version.

The setups of the downloaded software are among the most used:

• Web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome)
• Email client (Mozilla Thunderbird)
• Multimedia player (VLC)
• Different desktop utilities (Adobe Reader, f.lux, 7zip, Gimp)
• Text Editors (Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code)
• Virtualization tools (Oracle VirtualBox, VMWare WorkstationPro)
• Versioning tools (GitKraken)
• Messaging application (Telegram)
• Security tools (Malwarebytes)
• Virtual Private Networks (PIAVPN, NordVPN)
• Video Games (Steam, Discord)

Please note that I am open to any suggestions and that this list is bound to evolve according to your feedback.
