What is Total Commander 2025 11.50, what’s new, what does it do? What can we do with it, how to download and install it? Read on to find out the details.
What is Total Commander and what is not, I would like to start with a short information. Many computer users over the age of 30 know that before 2002 we used the program under the name of Windows Commander. However, after that time, Microsoft, objecting to the name Windows due to commercial competition, caused the name of the program to be changed. And we began to use it with its new name, which we will hear as Total Commander. We can try the program, which is still developed using the Delphi infrastructure, for 30 days without paying any fee. Of course, we need to use the full version and access all the features of the program. So I’ll tell you a little bit about what’s available, but first I’ll give you the system requirements table, check it out. Let’s see if the program is suitable for installation on your computer.

System Requirements:
Without going into extra information such as processor, motherboard, ram, etc., let me just say that Total Commander can be installed on all personal and commercial computers, including Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT 3.51/4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11. In other words, regardless of processor power, if a computer has these operating systems installed, this program can be used. Therefore, the information you need to know about system requirements is sufficient. Now let’s come to the main question… What does the program do, what is it useful for? Let’s have a look at it now.
What’s new in Total Commander 2025?
First of all, let me say that the interface of the program has not changed. Although it is necessary to change the interface, which already has an old look, we see that there is no effort to change it. I have already said that the program looks like Windows XP during the installation phase, and this interface looks the same. However, if you ask “are there any changes inside”, I can say that there are small changes such as small simple file transfer improvements, revision of multi-language support, file comparison with an editor, synchronization improvement, adding easy-to-reach buttons to the icons in the tab interface.
Other than that, there is nothing I can say “I saw a great program in version 2025”. But to be honest, I don’t expect any serious changes anyway. Because the main purpose of the program is to transfer files quickly to wherever we want. For that, a simple program will not be strange to anyone. That’s why Total Commander is so useful.
But what does it do? In other words, if you ask “what problem does it solve on our computer”, let me explain it briefly.
What is Total Commander and what can we do with it?
It is a program of great interest to those who want to copy files, transfer files, move data from one place to another. But if you want to transfer files at the same time as downloading a game, downloading a movie, moving large files, transferring files from a mobile phone to a computer and vice versa, or extracting a large zip file to a computer as something else, Total Commander works admirably.
As you know, on computers with Windows, especially when we want to move files from the C drive, we are kept waiting even before we enter the folder. This is because Windows keeps us waiting for a while when we try to access the partitions containing its own drives, both for indexing and for scanning for possible threats. An hourglass turns on the cursor. Only after a while do we get access to the files. Believe me, this happens even on the best computers. You might think that my computer is slowing down. However, this is not due to any slowness or inadequacy of the hardware. I can say that it is completely the busybody of the operating system. This is where Total Commander comes to the rescue. No matter what directory or device it is in, it quickly opens and moves files without waiting, regardless of the size of the files.
For example, when we want to format or download videos from our mobile phone to our computer, or even when we want to connect to remote servers via FTP, it provides speed in the transfer. Of course, we also take care of data security. Because even in case of an interruption, it does not damage our files. Solving such functions without any problems makes us curious about this program. So I will say that you should download a demo version first and you should definitely try it and see the difference. So where and which version should I download… right? Here is the information about it, read it carefully and download the correct installation file.
How to download Total Commander?
Before we get to the download, let me give you some advice. You don’t need to download the full version of the program from third party sites on the Internet. Because the full version of the program is already available at a very reasonable price.
To download the new 11.50 installation file of Total Commander, released as version 2025, we must first open the official website. Optionally, it can be 32-bit, but considering that operating systems nowadays are 64-bit, if you click on the 64-bit download link, the installation file will be downloaded to your computer. You should have downloaded a file of 6.7 MB in total. If this is the file you have downloaded, then you have downloaded correctly. Some other download alternatives have been added by the official website, but you don’t need to pay attention to them. We can already download the original installation file directly from the official website. So we have downloaded it, but how do we install it? Let’s have a look.
How do I install Total Commander on my computer?
The installation interface of the program reminds me of the old Windows XP installations. A simple installation window appears on a blue background. In this window you choose your language. If you are already a US user, press NEXT while the default English language is active and proceed to the next window. The next window shows the installation directory as (C:\Program Files\totalcmd). Press NEXT again at this point. Do the same for the next steps. Because it shows a repetition of choices that we don’t need to change in the classic installation. Finally, press OK to complete the installation.
I have given you information about installing the program on Windows, but what will you do if you need it for Android, right…? Don’t worry, I’ll take care of that too. In fact, the Android installation is easy to complete in a similar way. The logic is the same (forward – forward – complete). Other operating systems have no installation file.
So the operating systems you can install are briefly as follows Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, NT, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11, or Android, another mobile system. Of course, you don’t need to download for Android. You can install it directly from the Google Play Store. If you want to install it with an APK file, you can download it from the Mobile page of the official website.
We’re done with the installation, but how do we use the program, what can the program give us? Dimi… let’s have a look at it now. I will give you detailed information about what Total Commander is, what it is not, what it does, what is new in version 2025. Please be sure to read this section because it will be very useful when using it.
Total Commander is installed, how can we use it?
When we open the program, we see a version information screen. It tells us in big letters that we are opening version 11.50. It’s almost like it’s shoving it in our faces. We also see introductory information about the program, the link to register (licensing) and, interestingly, the verification buttons with numbers from 1 to 3 on this unnecessary screen. I’d like to say that this part annoyed me, especially because they made the buttons huge and pushed them in front of our eyes. You have to press the button with the number they tell you “please press this button” (whatever it is). Otherwise you cannot access the program interface. For me, a warning appeared telling me to press button number 3. I pressed it and went to the screen.
When the main screen opens, the first thing you see is the configuration window. This is the first window that welcomes us. Here we can change the settings we want. I will not go into this part because there are known settings. If you want to get more detailed information, there is a help section of the program, you can look there. I would rather tell you if something new has been added.
Playing around with the program, I noticed that the file transfer screen has been made more practical. We can access the top sub directory more easily thanks to the folder arrangement. Also, there is no waiting like in the computer’s own Explorer-based folder window. Click on a folder and it opens immediately. I think this is a remarkable change. Of course, previous versions were also fast, but the difference in this version is that you can see the entire sequence of folders in the transfer and transferred window, which is a bonus. The drag-and-drop feature also comes in handy here, as it makes it easier to use. So it allows us to transfer files easily.
You don’t need a lot of knowledge to use the program, let me tell you. Because the main logic you need to know here is to drag or select the files you see in the left window and send them to the right window. And vice versa. The other windows and menus are just some usage and transfer settings for the program. I don’t think there is anything extra I can say that would be great if you use it this way. If you only need to use FTP, you will need to know how to use some of the menus. They are of no interest to the average PC user. Those who need them are already experienced in using them.
A little fiddling with the program and you can easily understand what you can do. But of course, if you need to use it in another language, you should know some English. Because the language deck in the program seems to be limited to 10 languages. Still, I don’t think you’ll have any trouble using it, just drag and drop. That’s it…
