Windows Movie Maker is an essential tool if you do a lot of presentation including videos. The Movie Maker is a handy tool and saves you the hassle of downloading a third party video editing software.

In this post, I will be showing you how to download Windows Movie Maker for Windows 10 with or without Windows Essential.
