Windows Essentials (also called as Windows Live Essentials) was obviously a suite of desktop applications that included various Microsoft programs, like Messenger, Mail, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, Writer, and OneDrive.

The end version of the suite was already released in 2012, on the final update in 2014, and reached end of support on January 10, 2017. Microsoft removed those from its site last season, and while it can be officially will no longer available for download, you can still get it -- know how. And good news is tools like Movie Maker work fine on Windows 10.

On Microsoft's Windows Essentials page, the software giant helpfully shows that:

Any websites offering free downloads of Windows Movie Maker are certainly not offering sanctioned Microsoft products. Take care as these products may contain viruses or hidden costs.

It is a valid point, you can download Microsoft Windows Live Essentials 2012 on the internet Archive, this is a very safe source.

The suite contains:

Photo Gallery
Movie Maker
Mail (support limited)
Messenger (do not functional)
Writer (newer version available, note: Newer version not anymore developed directly by Microsoft)
OneDrive (newer version available)

It will need you to be running Windows 7, or later, elegant . you might expect with a suite that hasn't been upgraded in 4 years, some programs -- Messenger essentially -- don't work anymore. However, Movie Maker and Windows Photo Viewer run without difficulty on Microsoft's newest OS.

You may download the suite from the web Archive here. It's a 131MB file, and you have got the choice of getting it directly from your website (slow) or as providing torrent file (faster).

While the different than install each one of Windows Essentials was the recommended choice planned to attend classes 2012, you'll choose to select 'Choose the programs you have to install' now and precisely pick the required tools.

Naturally, running old, unsupported software is very little great idea, in case you're serious about one of these programs, it is a safest way of getting it.

Note: If it throws up a miscalculation during installation, you'll probably find it has installed anyway. If it's not, make sure you're running English (Unites states) as your default language.
