AskWoody PlusMy approach is basically identical with yours. Only difference is that I take the oppurtunity to get a new system with the new OS already-installed. I did that for win7 and, recently, again for win10. And my list of “essential utiities” is pretty much like yours.
One thing that bugs me a little bit is that whenever *anyone* [you included] lists password managers, no one *ever* includes password safe. It is uncomplicated, secure and the one I’ve used for a lot of years. Is there some problem with pwsafe that drops it off of everyone’s “programs to get” lists?

AskWoody PlusFirefox is not my default browser. I have ESR installed but since it is so slow, I rarely fire it up. I also don’t run Windows 10.
I found this https://www.ghacks.net/2020/06/03/firefox-78-set-firefox-as-the-default-pdf-viewer-on-windows/
Since we get pdfs as email attachments from two organizations we are on the board of, having a dedicated pdf viewer for files on the computer is the better option for us.
Got coffee?
