Windows 10: New Laptop, Proper way to install programs/apps for all (future) users

W10 Home Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.804)
I have a new (literally out of the box yesterday) Lenovo laptop.
Currently one admin level (local) account. It will have an additional 2 user level accounts for everyday use.
Before i continue with installing the programs/apps that will be need i need to understand when it is best to install these programs so that all users will have access to them.
e.g if i continue as "Admin" and install my preferred browser(s), archive manager,pdf manager,Zoom,office suite, photo editor etc , and then create a new user level account will they have access to those programs?
Then in the future , i find and decide to install a program, that i want all (3) users, (presuming by then the additional 2 user level accounts have been added) to be able to use.
What is the best method?
Log in as admin and install? Install as standard user but right click?run/install as admin?
In the future, if i decide to add an additional user level account, what access will they have to the already install programs?

Thank you.

:)

 

Listing installed programs and apps after USER change

I recently needed to switch user accounts on my laptop because I could not get Start/Settings/Cortana to function. After many attempts to resolve this, suggested by various forums, I finally settled on the user change. This involved creating a new Administrator
account and transferring files from the old user account to the new one. Now W10 runs (almost) perfectly, but I can't see my installed programs/apps in the All Apps menu. Is there a way to get the All Apps menu to see these programs without uninstalling/reinstalling
(and would that even work?)
