Still is the best pdf reader for windows 10. Works surprisingly well with touch. The only downside is that you can't Fill out or annotate files, but still worth an install. You can also open other types of files as well, including .epub files. If you want something a little heaver but with annotations and self-fill spots, I would recommend pdf x-change editor. The only reason that I don't use it is because touch scrolling is poor.

It's lighter and faster than Foxit Reader or Adobe Reader. It's simple, and open source as well. Essentially everything most people would ever need in a PDF reader while remaining light, and simple to use.
