If you're going to be upgrading to a new computer to start the new year, you need to think about what it's going to take to get your new computer to look like your old computer. Not only will you need productivity tools like Word and Excel, you'll likely need to install the browser of your choice, myriad utilities and possibly some media players or streaming services. Left to be done manually, this process becomes a lot more work than you probably remember. Luckily, instead of having to slog through everything manually, there are free tools available to help streamline the process. For Windows users, a website called Ninite comes to your aid, while Mac users can speed things up by using the GetMacApps website. Both sites allow you to choose all of the programs that you want to add so they can create a single massive installation download that makes it all much more efficient.
