Ninite: Install Multiple Programs at Once on a New Computer

After reinstalling your computer, you do not have to download all the programs one by one

You bought a new computer or reinstalled Windows. You need to install the browser, communication program, archive manager and other basic applications.

It takes time to go to a separate site for each program, look for a download button, follow the installation screens and check for updates.

Ninite simplifies this process. You select the applications you want on the site, then download a single installation file. When you run this file, Ninite can automatically download and install the supported programs you choose.

Another benefit is that it automatically rejects offers to add extra toolbars or unnecessary software during installation. Ninite also tries to bypass outdated programs and update older versions. Ninite
