Some recommendations are Werrus HFPS Basic, DocteurDread’s Lite, Sildurs Basics, MrMeep’ Lite, SFLP Lite, and Chocapic13 Better Default. After you have downloaded the one that you want, you can open it and just drop the unzipped shader pack in the right folder. you are able to find your shaders in C:\Users\[Yourname]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft.shaderspack. If you have done it right, the shader will immediately show up in the video options screen.
