Working from home is great, but working from home with the right tools and the best PC software is infinitely better. Windows has solid options for almost any need: video-calling clients, office suites, task-management apps, remote-desktop control, and team-communication tools. Some cover several functions at once; others do one thing but do it exceptionally well. What matters is building a workflow that doesn't depend on being in the office.
