Question asked on Jan 19, 2016

hello all,  Ive been using windows live mail for a while and havent see anything about not using it in win10.  the win10 upgrade advisor said ALL my programs would migrate.  yesterday I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10.  and problems:

I cant run windows live mail - it doesnt show up in the search function.

I cant install it - win10 says its already installed (i had win 7 windows essentials 2012)

I cant repair it - no  option for repair.

I cant uninstall it - win10 says it isnt there.

the only wlmail.exe is in windows.old which is my win 7 files.

I installed the whole windows live essentials  - the other 4 programs show up but mail does NOT.

I did the restore Windows 7 option and now have access to email.    before I try the upgrade again

how does one get windows live mail to work in windows 10?

any ideas?  thank you.
