Get Windows Essentials Offline Installer Before the End of Support Date

The Windows Essentials 2012 suite is about to reach its end of support and wouldn’t be available for download from Microsoft’s servers after January 10 2017. The Windows Essentials suite includes Photo Gallery, Movie Maker, Windows Live Writer, Windows Live Mail, and OneDrive.

Winbeta blog reports that Microsoft would be porting Windows Movie Maker as modern or Universal app and make it available through Windows Store. But if you’re fond of the classic desktop version of the app or the entire Windows (Live) Essentials software suite, it’s high time to download its offline installer locally before it becomes unavailable.

Download Windows Essentials Setup (NOT the offline installer)

The above list was obtained from Microsoft site.

A word of caution, though. Although you can use the program after the end of support date, Microsoft won’t supply security updates to the Windows Essentials software suite. There are chances that this suite will leave your system vulnerable at some point of time.
