Download Windows Essentials 2012

As you all know the support of Windows Essentials ended in January 2017.  So if you are looking to download and reinstall it in your PC you won’t find it anymore in any Microsoft website.  If I remember it correctly, Windows Live Essentials was introduced as a FREE add-on during Windows 7 times after they removed some apps like Movie Maker.  Live Essentials added more apps, like Messenger (now Skype), Photo Gallery, Mail, and my personal favorite the Writer intended for blogging.

If you have downloaded the offline installer then you are lucky one, you can use and reinstall the app without any problems.  Two weeks ago a customer  called me asking where can he download Windows Live Mail.  Apparently his boss, a Jurassic lawyer, doesn’t want to adapt on what is current, he still wanted the nice and easy interface of the Live Mail.  Good thing I still have the offline installer, so I uploaded it in OneDrive and send him the link, which I also wanted to share with you should you still want to have these apps on your PC.  You can get it in the link below.
