How to download Movie Maker for Windows 10, 8.1 and 7 in Russian with Internet Archive
Microsoft has removed the possibility of downloading Windows Movie Maker from the official website (and the new "film studio" and the old version of Movie Maker). And the same video editor, affordable on third-party sites, sometimes may install unwanted software. However, on the Internet Archive website (Web.Archive.org, is an Internet archive, including on previous dates), these files are available (as part of the archive of the official site): and it is in its original form, since they were posted on the official The site is better and safer than downloading from third-party sites. It is enough to find a direct link (I did for you) to download a Movie Maker (it was on a Russian-speaking file), as they were presented in the past on the Microsoft website, insert on the website web.archive.org and select the date on which there is a saved version in Internet Archive.
Direct links to download Windows Movie Maker in Russian on the official Microsoft website looked as follows (you can not use them, then direct links will be given to download the Movie Maker of the desired version with the Russian-language interface):
- https://download.microsoft.com/download/2/e/3/2E33CDA0-9EEA-4308-B5A6-2E31ABAD6523/mm26_ru.msi (Movie Maker 2.6).
- https://wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/1/d/7/1D7A2972-EF5A-46CF-AF5A-8767E6EAF40C/ru/wlsetup-all.exe (Windows Movie Maker 2012, film studio).
After the search for these files in the Internet archive (if it is not clear how to do it - there is a video below) We get direct links to download their archive of the official website:
- Download Windows Movie Maker 2.6 For Windows 10, 8.1 and Windows 7, in Russian, you can at https://web.archive.org/web/20150613220538/http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/e/3 /2E33CDA0-9EEA-4308-B5A6-2E31ABAD6523/mm26_ru.msi.

Installation and first and second option does not represent difficulties, work in Windows 10 is verified, except to consider such moments:
- In Windows Movie Maker 2.6, the installer interface is made in English (the video editor itself is in Russian).
- When you install Windows Movie Maker 6.0 (2012) On the first screen, you can click "Select Installation Programs" and disable all unnecessary components, leaving only a film studio (and the photo album, which cannot be refused).
I checked both installers - in both cases this is the original Microsoft file, the installation is successful, and both versions of Movie Maker work successfully in Windows 10 (and therefore will work in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1).
However, I recommend installing a film studio - it is much better with the support of video input formats than that of the original Movie Maker. But for her work, you will need .NET Framework 3.5 on the computer (you will be prompted to automatically download and install this component).
