Windows Essentials 2012

Is it safe to install Windows Essentials 2012 on a Windows 10 Surface Pro 3? Photo Gallery is what I am really after because it has a photo resize function where W10 Photo app does not.

I see no reason why you cannot.
MS is still supporting Windows Essentials.

I don't have a Surface Pro, but I have been using Windows Essentials 2012 programs on my 2 laptops running Win 10.

Why did you use the word" safe" ?
You have heard of warning of that kind ?

By the way, if Photo Gallery is the only program you really want to use, why not try out 3rd party programs.

I have been using Picpick for 3 years now. It is duped as the "poor man" SnagIt.
Picpick have numerous features, one of which is resizing .

Try it out with the Free version. That's what I use since, and I use it for image editing, screenshot capturing etc etc.
All my screenshots posted in this forum are done by Picpick.

Thank you.

No I haven't heard any warnings only being on the safe side asking here because the specs only mention up to W8.

Thanks all for the reassurances and the suggestion davidhk.

You are welcome.
Give Picpick a try. I highly recommend it. It does hell of a lot more than Photo Gallery.
