Do you want to download Windows Movie Maker in Windows 10? I was surprised to find my favorite Windows movie maker which I so extensively use to edit videos and make amazing .wmv video files to add to Powerpoint presentations was missing in Windows 10!

Microsoft help reveals Windows movie maker is not supported in Windows 10! Finding a good free video editing software is difficult, and I could not believe how could they not support it in Windows 10!!!

Download Windows 10 Movie Maker

Well here is the fix. Now you can download Windows Essentials 2012 from CNET to get Windows Movie maker, as it has become part of that software suite and needs to be downloaded separately if you really need it. Official Windows Essentials site reveals they no longer offer the Windows Essentials 2012 suite for download, but it will work if already installed. However, it reached end of support on January 10, 2017, and it isn’t officially available in Windows 10. They offer the Photos app as a replacement to create and edit videos with music, text, motion, filters, and 3D effects.

It has possibly been done to reduce software bloat as many people might not be using it.
