So I have been going thru the update process with windows update after having done a full reload of windows XP sp3.
I found this article when I was looking up if this stuff is even necessary, I am bumping up an old computer to see what happens when it’s maxed out and if it’s all good I thought I’d try a upgrade on it to windows 7. You can pick and choose which components of the suite that you still might want to use, or you can go out and get the separate components yourself.
So, the short answer is yes, you can uninstall the whole thing. Many of these services can be downloaded elsewhere separately if you need them. Windows Live Messenger is in the process of being migrated to Skype (which is a separate download that’s not part of Windows Live Essentials at all). It’s all Sky Drive, which is a separate product. Windows Live Mesh doesn’t really exist anymore. If you take a look at the various services that are part of Windows Live Essentials, many of the products in that suite have been broken out. That doesn’t mean you can’t access the products individually or upgrade. Now, Windows Live Essentials is in the process of being phased out. So it’s possible that you may want to go ahead and install individual pieces or uninstall the entire package anyway. You can just install the ones you actually use. If you want Windows Live Mail, you might want to check out exactly which components of Windows Live Essentials are in fact installed, and then pick and choose which of the components you actually want to keep. The most common one in the Windows Live package that I think people end up using is Windows Live Mail. While they’re not necessary, you might actually want some of them, or some of their replacements. Those are all components of what was called “Windows Live Essentials”. Those are simply additional pieces of software that are provided as a convenience as part of the initial install.
