    It isn't third party - it is MS - the same link in fact.

    It just has other languages not just English.

    My apologies, I saw that your link was to itechtics, but their links are indeed to Microsoft.

    @ Edwin: I see that you flagged your Windows Essential Folder with a cute heart shape--That's a good idea, how did you do it please?

    Alt+3 then Enter...
    for some reason it keeps it at the top of the hierarchy, the rest are 'bullets', Alt+7
    (The rest of the folders are hidden)

    EDIT: Alt+3 has to be done on the numeric keypad with NumLock on.

    Hello again!

    YAY! I installed WLPG without problems and began copy of the biggest W7 desktop pic folder & subfolders ( 128 GB). It's been running since Sunday night and all seemed well until yesterday when I noticed that progress meter is stuck at same pic. A closer look shows that only 45.8 GB have been copied.

    Any ideas what to do? Many of the W10 subfolders have been copied OK (size is same so I guess that means they made it).

    Thanks for your continued help!

    Great thread. Would anyone have and be willing to share with me the offline installer for the last version of Essentials 2012? I missed the opportunity to download it (4 days ago) and really want to regain access to Movie Maker. Actually, my wife prefers it as we're not able to locate a suitable alternative. She's making a compilation of videos and images for our daughter's first birthday. *Smile

    Any help would be appreciated.

    TIA

    3/26 UPDATE...
    Still working on it! With help of techie friend, I can access W7 from my W10 laptop through a remote connection. Planning to use Teracopy to copy remaining W7 folders to W10. Appreciate comments if there's a better way.

    Will keep Y'All posted!
