Problem is that the installer won't let you uncheck Messenger or OneDrive updates, and that it did quit on a Windows 10 version 1803 system because of that. The two programs that you may be interested in the most are Photo Gallery and Movie Maker, and Writer. I suggest you select the later (choose the programs you want to install) as some don't work at all or well anymore so that installing them would be a waste of space on the device. You get the option to install all programs included in the bundle or only select programs. The installation itself is straightforward but you may run into issues installing the programs on Windows 10. Downloads were not super-fast when I tried regardless of the method that I selected to download the installation file. The download is provided as a web and torrent file, and the file itself has a size of 130 Megabytes.

The reason why that is important is that web installers will fail as Microsoft removed the files they require to complete the installation.

Offline copy means that you can install the application suite directly setup requires no Internet connection and won't download any data from Microsoft as a consequence. You can download an offline copy of Microsoft Windows Live Essentials 2012 from.

While some programs don't work at all anymore or only limited, others, like Movie Maker or Photo Gallery, work fine and provide all the included functionality. Windows Live Essentials requires at least Windows 7 but it runs fine on newer versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system including Windows 10. Some of the programs don't work anymore Microsoft retired Messenger, Mail functionality is limited, and SkyDrive has been replaced with OneDrive. Windows Live Essentials included several programs, most notably Movie Maker, Photo Gallery, Mail, Messenger, Writer, and SkyDrive (OneDrive). Microsoft ended support for Windows Essentials 2012 in 2017 and removed all downloads of Windows Essentials and individual programs from its web properties.
