Installing PowerToys for Windows 10 on your computer is very easy by following these steps

A while ago we talked about PowerToys, Microsoft tools and utilities with a history behind them and that can already be tested on Windows 10 by usersmore daring users who want to get more out of their equipment.

"

We already mentioned it, the PowerToys are made up of a series of utilities designed to enhance the Windows operating system, special functions whose use is recommended above all for advanced users and incidentally to avoid having to touch the Registry of Windows. Currently they already have access to version 0.14 and include some such as PowerRename, FancyZones and Shortcut But how can these PowerToys be installed?."

Installing the PowerToys

"It is a process that is not at all complicated with which even those who do not have a minimum knowledge will be able to access extra functions without having to touch the Windows Registry. Some tools that can be downloaded at this Github link to start testing them on our team."

Once downloaded from this link, we will see how on our computer we have a file with the extension .MSI This file will be the one that makes it possible to install the tools. An automatic process that guides us step by step and installs the three available tools in a single pack .

Among the options that we are going to find during the process, there is the possibility of making that the PowerToys start with the equipment, that only work when we activate them or the one that allows us to add a shortcut on the desktop.

These are the PowerToys that we will have access to with a configuration panel of the different options they offer.

• FancyZones: is a tool for working with windows and arranging them in a complex way.

• Shorcut Guide: It is a guide that offers access to see the keyboard shortcuts that Windows 10 has. To access the guide is enough to keep the Windows key pressed and thus access all the shortcuts

• PowerRename: with this utility we can easily rename files or folders in a massive way, since it is also integrated into the contextual menu of Windows 10.

"

Once installed we will see how a new icon appears on the desktop, if we check this option and a shortcut on the Taskbar>. By clicking on this icon we access the configuration options in each of the tools it offers."

We can determine the keystroke time to activate the Shorcut Guide, the zone in which we can work with the windows in FancyZones>"
