How To Install Several Apps At Once On A Windows PC

Installing essential third-party apps after a fresh Windows installation is quite a tedious process, especially when you need to get your important work done on time.

However, there are many ways you can install several apps at once on a Windows PC, saving you from the hassle of individually installing every essential app. Read on through this guide to learn more.

Install several apps at once on Windows with Ninite

Ninite is one of the most popular application package management services for Windows, offering users to install multiple popular apps at once on their Windows PCs. You can make manual selections from Ninite’s list of apps, then download a single installer package for hassle-free app installation.
