My first BoxStarter script

To install my new laptop I decided to give BoxStarter and Chocolatey a try. When you install BoxStarter and then run this script, it starts downloading and installing all this software without human intervention. In combination with important files stored in OneDrive I can now easily reinstall my laptop if needed.
