    For those who can't live without it, you should download the installer and keep it in a very safe place.

    You have to have it installed before support ends.

    I was always wondering why microsoft didn't continue the support for windows live essentials. Especially the writer app, it was a great tool to post to wordpress websites and made it so simple.

    I deleted my 2012 essentials about 6 months ago. Missed the Mail feature of being able to read newsgroups. Did the download again, nice to see that you can pick and choose what program(s) you want to install. I just chose Mail and went to newsgroups, and low and behold, picked up right where I left off, about 300+ msgs behind. Tried to use the Google newsreader, it is a mess and only contains a small portion of the messages out there.

    Downloading the web installer is little use I'm afraid, what you really need is an offline installer - and here it is, all 130MB of it...

    PS: I see @Brink has now picked this up and added it to the OP *Smile

    Glad to help. It's Movie Maker I would miss. What's the betting that the promised Store App to replace it won't be able to use 2012's project files? (like 2012 can't use the XP version's ones)

    I used to love the Essentials but I moved to gmail when I got my first mobile phone so I was synchronised across devices.

    Thanks. Caught, found and downloaded. *Biggrin It's Movie Maker I still find a use for, as MS apparently realise (promising a Windows App replacement). Until that appears (and is found to be suitable) I want to hold on to the Essentials version.

    Both installers still work. *Thumbs
