The first thing I do when installing a fresh Windows 10 build is download Chocolatey [0] and use that to install a list [1] of programs that I find extremely useful or can't live without. After that I set up Cmder [2] as my default PowerShell and Bash terminal, install Nylas [3] as my default mail program, install Caprine [4] which I use constantly throughout the day to communicate with friends and family, and then I turn on the Windows Subsystem for Linux [5] for my native Bash terminal.
Somewhat related to this topic, I recently found this list of tips and tricks [6] for Windows 10 that I found pretty useful, even as a lifelong (by choice!) Windows user.
