When we install Windows 10 on our PC from scratch, the operating system has a series of pre-installed applications. But at the same time, most users choose to install others that they download from the Internet for their regular use. Here we use programs corresponding to all types of sectors, modes of use and licenses.
And when we talk about licenses, we are actually referring to paid or free software, which are usually one of the most important factors. Of course, at the same time we try to make the types of applications that meet our needs and expectations. Among these there is usually no lack, in addition to the operating system as such, others such as a browser, text editor, photo editor, a multimedia player, or some games.
However, despite the wide availability of free software that we can use at the moment, we are sure that we are longing for some commercial ones. With this, what we want to tell you is that most likely, on more than one occasion, we have wished that a certain paid title was free. It is for all this that in these same lines we will talk about commercial programs that many would like to become free .
Adobe Photoshop, the photo editor
As most of you already know, this is the quintessential image editor. In fact, it is the most used program of this type in the world, but of course, it cannot be said that it is exactly cheap. Because it is designed to help both novice and professional users, many would like the software to be free.
To all this we can add the widespread use that photographic archives have at the moment.
Windows 10, the most used operating system
Here you could not miss the most used desktop operating system such as Windows 10 . It is true that many get it when they buy their new computer, but that does not mean that it is free, far from it. Moreover, in the event that for whatever reason we need to acquire another license, or a new one because we come from Windows 7 , we will have to pay.
Therefore it is not surprising that as with many of the Linux distros, we would like Windows 10 to cost nothing.
Adobe Acrobat Pro, one of the most used PDF editing programs
The use of all types of office files is increasingly on the rise, among which we find the popular files in PDF format . These are already used in all kinds of environments, both professional and domestic. However when it comes to editing these as we would like, it is not easy to find a software that meets our expectations.
That is why many are forced to use Acrobat Pro , Adobe‘s powerful editor, owner of the original format, for editing. So it would not be bad if this was also free.
WinRAR, the powerful file compressor
Compressing and decompressing files is something that most of us do on a regular basis. There are many software solutions that help us in these tasks, but few as powerful and well-known as WinRAR . This is a program that focuses on these tasks that we comment on, but that unlike others, it is paid.
It presents a multitude of functions related to the treatment of files, so it would not hurt if it was free and helped us save and better manage space on the PC.
Microsoft Office and all its programs
And if we talk about office automation and productivity suites, without a doubt the maximum reference in this particular sector is Office. Its popularity is largely due to the fact that here we find programs such as Word , Excel or PowerPoint, among others. But its main drawback is that it is paid, so not everyone is willing to shell out money for its use.
More if we take into account that we can also opt for other similar proposals such as LibreOffice . But with everything and with it, surely many would like Microsoft not to charge for these popular programs.
