Take the effort out of Windows software administration with a package manager. Whether its installing and updating apps, removing them, or simply keeping a check on what's residing on your computer, a package manager can help significantly. Indeed, if you've ever used Linux, you're probably already familiar with how useful such a tool can be.

In this video we'll take a look at two options for Windows: Chocolatey and Winget. After covering how to use each of them from the command line, we'll see what graphical solutions exist to ease the task even further.

By the end of the video, not only should you be aware of the main features of each system, but you'll hopefully have decided how best to put one (or even both) of them to work on your Windows machine.
