How do I get the old Windows photo gallery and movie maker for my new Windows 10 laptop?

I just bought a new laptop with Windows 10 and discovered that my beloved Windows 7 photo gallery and movie maker have been replaced by inferior products.   Although Microsoft no longer provides or supports them,  I understand that the old ones are still available for download elsewhere and will work fine on Windows 10.  But how do I know which sites are safe to download from?  Are these safe?  https://windows-movie-maker.en.softonic.com/  https://windows-live-photo-gallery.en.softonic.com/  Any better suggestions?

    Hello

    Hello Customer-name,

    My name is Patricia and I am an Independent Advisor. I am here to help you today.

    Why do you mention inferior products ?

    New apps are more powerful and old ones may disfunction on Windows 10 as they are not maintained anymore.

    So, I recommend you not to download these apps from non Microsoft websites.

    Please try photos app from Microsoft Store

    You can trim the audio in Movie Maker, fade it in and out, and move the audio track around.

    I used Movie Maker here and the music was added separately (except for the music that is with the dialogue):   https://youtu.be/NZpP1WhLYvM

    But I'm using Movavi Video Editor now.

    Hello,

    I Don't agree with you about Photos, a powerful and efficient app.

    I think it is a matter of habit.

    The best is to use it and to get used to it.

    I Don't deal very much with photos anymore but people I know are very satisfied with Photos and would't change

    AFAIK, you can still download and use Microsoft's free Movie Maker and Photo Gallery (which works also in Windows 10).
