• Browser: Chrome
• https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html
• Or https://ninite.com/chrome/
• Built-in sync, nicely organized browser history across devices, so many extensions. Chrome Wins
• Runner-up is FireFox, and then the dubious honour of "when you need a browser to download Chrome with and some sites are just broken without it" goes to Internet Explorer.
• Virtualization: VirtualBox
• If you're looking for a light-duty secondary desktop OS or a test server environment, look no further. It's free, and it "just works".
• Files and sharing: Windows Offline Files, AllWay Sync, OwnCloud
• Windows Offline Files is a handy way to keep a copy of files from a file share like on a laptop when away from the network. Though only really works on relatively small folders and files, it is a good (enough) out-of-the-box.
• AllWay Sync is a very feature-rich tool for file and folder synchronization once Windows Offline Files can't cut the mustard.
• OwnCloud for when you don't want to use The Cloud (Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, whatever) can be installed on any computer as the "server" and port-forward for HTTPS and everything gets tunneld through that.
• Windows Software Management: Ninite
• https://ninite.com/
• Gives you light-weight installers for a wide range of common tools, does the install skipping ad-ware, and also works to update the application(s) if installed already.
• Ninite Bundle of useful Utilities
• Chrome and FireFox browsers
• KeePass password manager
• WinDirStat for disk usage charts
• 7-Zip compression utility
• Paint.Net because MS Paint could really use just a few more features to be good
• Foxit Reader PDF viewer, also has a PDF printer
• FileZilla for File Transfers 
• There's lots of useful utilities on the Ninite site like WinSCP, Revo, PuTTY, etc etc so hit Ninite first if you need a utility for "something"
• Other Utilities
• LibreOffice for F/OSS Office suite
• VLC, HandBrake, and Audacity for multi-media tools
• Synergy for Keyboard and Mouse sharing across compters and across platforms
• Vim The Linux command-line editor
