Browser
Brave (64-bit) for its low profile and resource usage / Firefox (64-bit) (default) for YouTube and other helpful extensions / MS Edge (only because some gov't sites don't play well with other browsers and Google Chrome may as well be a virus because you can't completely get rid of non-Enterprise versions of it without major registry surgery once installed)
Antivirus
Windows Defender (Just as effective as, if not more effective than 3rd party software, but nowhere near as customizable)
