Programs you may already use in Windows that work in ChromeOS are, Microsoft® OneDrive, Microsoft® Word, Microsoft® Excel®, Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Evernote, Microsoft® OneNote®, YouTube, Amazon Music, Pandora, SoundCloud, Spotify, Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams, Adobe Lightroom, Canva, Adobe Spark, AutoCad, Kinemaster, Microsoft® Outlook, and a majority of apps that also work on your phone.
