Windows (Live) Essentials is a suite of programs. Windows Live Mail is one of the programs in the suite.
If you want Windows Live Mail on your laptop, then you have to download and install it.

I have Windows Live Essentials on my laptop and use Windows Live Mail on my desktop. I want that program on my laptop rather than the Essentials program.
