I would recommend installation of the following software to kick start on your prodductivity.
Github Desktop is an open source software by Github official.
Visual Studio Code is a streamlined code editor with support for development operations like debugging, task running, and version control. It aims to provide just the tools a developer needs for a quick code-build-debug cycle and leaves more complex workflows to fuller featured IDEs, such as Visual Studio IDE. VScode is supportedd by Microsoft. It also has a nice integration with Jupyter and various other SDK tools. A list of nice installation guides:

Anaconda Individual Edition is the world’s most popular Python distribution platform with over 25 million users worldwide.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup. You can choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store, run common command-line tools, bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications, install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager e.g. sudo apt-get in ubuntu, invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell and vice versa.
Microsoft Edge is a cross-platform web browser created and developed by Microsoft. The Chromium-based Edge replaced Internet Explorer (IE) in Windows 11, as the default web browser. Note that Zotero has an Edge Extension to allow save. Edge also comes with a very handy inspect element functionality for web-crawling.
Firefox is made by Mozilla Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation, and is guided by the principles of the Mozilla Manifesto. I use this as a secondary browser for simple one-off tasks.
Zotero is a reference manager. It is designed to store, manage, and cite bibliographic references, such as books and articles. In Zotero, each of these references constitutes an item. More broadly, Zotero is a powerful tool for collecting and organizing research information and sources.
