1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,759
did you know that Windows has a cool feature called a package manager those

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:09,719
of you who have used Linux before might already be very familiar with a package

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,920
manager but in case you aren't a package manager is a quick way to manage

4
00:00:11,799 --> 00:00:18,880
programs from a command line they've been part of Linux for a very long time

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:23,640
but Windows only recently got a package manager as a standard feature wait a

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:28,480
second a command line you mean the way my grandpa uses computer back in the'80s

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:32,439
why the heck would you install or update programs that way can you just you know

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,879
download what you want through a web browser or the Microsoft store of course

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,039
you can do those things that way but Windows package manager called winget

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:45,320
differs in a couple of important ways winget can provide a very comprehensive

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,399
list of everything installed on your computer simply by typing this command

12
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:54,120
but you can also keep most of your programs up to date easily regardless of

13
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,440
whether or not they're in the Microsoft store you see wingit operates by

14
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:03,680
Consulting a Microsoft maintained repository of packages and a package

15
00:01:01,199 --> 00:01:07,799
contains both the software you want as well as information about any

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:12,000
dependencies it might need to run properly such as additional files or

17
00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:16,200
resources some of the packages in the wing get repository are Microsoft

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,560
programs but there are lots of thirdparty programs as well as of the

19
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:25,200
time we wrote this video Wing get had over 7,000 packages in its repository

20
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,439
surely you're running some of those programs this means one of the things we

21
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:34,280
get excels at is keeping your programs up to date with one command just type

22
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,520
this into the command prompt hit enter and everything on your system that can

23
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:41,200
be updated through winget will be listed and the installation process will begin

24
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:45,360
immediately as wingit pulls packages from either Microsoft itself or from

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:50,159
thirdparty servers that host the software that you want this includes

26
00:01:47,119 --> 00:01:53,000
popular tools such as OBS BLC Zoom

27
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:57,439
Discord and various game launchers much easier than trying to go and check for

28
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:01,039
updates for all those programs manually especially if you have lots of programs

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,880
installed that AR aren't kept up to date through the Microsoft store there's also

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:11,560
another way winget can make your life more convenient and we'll tell you what that is along with an important warning

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:17,239
right after we thank MSI every rig needs a reliable motherboard and MSI's MPG

32
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,959

other components a breeze and of course a high high performance MSI Motherboard

extended gaming sessions so go check out the mpg z890 carbon Wi-Fi using our Link

38
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:47,319
in the description today if you're migrating to a new pc winget can make it

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:52,400
easy for you to quickly install many of the programs you had on your old PC this

40
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:56,519
is because winget has an export feature which creates a list of the supported

41
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:00,760
packages installed on your PC which you can save to a USB drive by using this

42
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:05,080
command just just enter the drive letter of your flash drive then insert the

43
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:09,360
drive into your new pc and type in this import command to install everything on

44
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:13,360
your list just like with the update example we mentioned earlier it's easier

45
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:17,400
than downloading programs one by one and delete packages you don't need on the

46
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:23,040
new system before importing it if it doesn't spark Joy uninstall winget can

47
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,879
also search for and install new programs without having to click through a bunch

48
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:31,200
of installation screens you can search with this command and install a program

49
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:35,840
without those messy dialogue scenes by using this command if you want a no fuss

50
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:40,000
uninstallation of something on your PC you can pull this off by typing this in

51
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:43,840
but do you remember how we said that winget lists more installed programs

52
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:49,200
than what you might see in the settings app this means that winget could make it

53
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:53,360
easier for you to inadvertently remove something your system depends on so

54
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,360
unless you're really familiar with the packages you're trying to remove we'd

55
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:01,519
recommend just uninstalling through the settings app instead winget was designed

56
00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:04,920
more for advanced users so the assumption is you know what you're doing

57
00:04:03,239 --> 00:04:08,879
a little more than the average Joe if you're revving up this command prompt no

58
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,159
disrespect meant to You Average Joe's who might be watching this video of course we love you and we hope you

59
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:17,479
become Advanced Joe's Maybe by using Wing get thanks for watching if you like
