Windows 10: ANGST! I have Windows 10 and I can't get the old Windows Live Movie Maker

I have a Toshiba Laptop with Win 10. I thought at one time I had Win Live Movie Maker because I am very familiar with it. And I can't find it. I don't know how it got lost. Possibly when I did a full factory reset. Now I can't get it back, it stops me at every turn saying this is needed, this might be the issue ... yadda yadda! I have a win 11 with Clipchamp. What a piece of work. I can't get going on it. I don't need a whole new study course I need my old WLMM back on my Win 10 machine. I also know I used it because I have wmp files. Is there any just cause why Windows is so determined we can
