The term Windows Live Essentials most likely sounds familiar to you<\/strong>, you've probably read something about it in the past. It sounds familiar or not, avoid worrying, because we teach you everything about them. For what they are, what they are for and how they can be had on the computer, for users with Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Windows Live Essentials also known in various cases as Windows Essentials.<\/strong> So if you hear or read about either of these two terms, they generally mean the same thing. Unless it is specified that there are differences between the two, which is not usually the case.<\/p>\n

What are Windows Live Essentials and what are they for?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Windows Live Essentials is or was a collection of free applications. They were all created by Microsoft<\/strong> and they were offered in a single package, thus facilitating their installation. In 2005 it was officially launched on the market, even though in later years new versions were launched, where some of the applications included in said package were modified.<\/p>\n

The last of these packages or versions of Windows Live Essentials was released in 2012<\/strong>. It was its end, even when the arrival of Windows 8 to the market also changed something, since some of these applications were integrated into the operating system. Other applications in this collection had worse luck, or were left out or some of them stopped updating directly and disappeared.<\/p>\n

Microsoft directly abandoned this project<\/strong> after this latest version. Actually, there are no Windows Live Essentials servers currently available. Even though in various repositories we can still download this package. So that users can have the 2012 version installed on their computer. This is something that some users are very interested in.<\/p>\n

Among the applications that we find in this latest version are OneDrive, Photo Gallery, Mail, Writer, Messenger and others<\/strong>. The problem is that some of them no longer work well, so even if they are installed it is feasible that they do not work as before. This is a risk that you have to pay attention to whatever the case, since you probably want to use a certain application, but it is not feasible to do so as in the past.<\/p>\n

How to download them to your computer<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even though Microsoft abandoned this project, we still found quite a few online repositories<\/strong> where we can find the Windows Live Essentials files. Therefore, those users who wish to have these applications on their PC still have the opportunity to install them on it. Even though as we have talked about, there are no guarantees that they will all work as desired on the PC.<\/p>\n

In this circumstance, the best option we can find is Internet Archive<\/strong>. In its files we can still find this collection of available applications, in its 2012 version. So, if you were interested in downloading it to your computer, then it is feasible to do it without any problem from said repository. It is best to have direct access in this link<\/a>, where we already find it available. It is a known and reliable virtual library, so we do not have to worry that we are going to have a virus or malware on our computer.<\/p>\n

In this link we can download Windows Live Essentials now. To proceed with the download we have two options, since we can download these applications in two different ways, so that each user will choose the method that is most comfortable or appropriate in their particular case. Later, you have to wait for the folder with all the files to download and run the executable files in it, in .exe format.<\/p>\n

Therefore the applications will be installed<\/strong> which are part of Windows Live Essentials. As we've talked about, you can probably install them all. Even though the operation is something that can cause problems in some cases or specific applications.<\/p>\n
