IMovie - how do I download the app on PC? If you want to download the software on your pc or mac, you could either first visit the Mac store or Windows AppStore and search for the app OR you can easily use any of the download links we provided above under the 'Download and Install' header section to download the application. Apple has continually updated the app to keep in step with advances in both cameras and formats. One obvious example is UHD: now that all modern iPhones are able to record up to 4K, iMovie.
As you have an old MacBook, you must know that iMovie comes preinstalled. Search on the Dock (the bar at the bottom of the display) the iMovie icon.

If you don't find it, you should have the DVDs that came with the MacBook. The Mac OS X Install Disc 2 includes the iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb and GarageBand), so just insert it and install them. Then, open > Software Update and install the most recent version of them.

An iMovie library holds all the media and data used to make movies in iMovie. If your iMovie library is large and you want to free up storage space on your Mac, you can move your iMovie library to an external drive.
Before you move an iMovie library, it's a good idea to back up your Mac.
Moving your library to an external hard drive doesn’t affect any iMovie Theater content you have moved to iCloud.

Prepare your drive
You can store your library on an external storage device such as a USB Thunderbolt drive formatted as APFS or Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Apple doesn’t recommend storing iMovie libraries on external storage devices like SD cards and USB flash drives, or drives shared on a network.
You can’t store your library on an external drive or other disk used for Time Machine backups.

When your external drive is connected to your Mac, the library you moved to the external drive opens automatically in iMovie. If you disconnect the external drive containing the library, iMovie opens to a new, empty library created in the Movies folder on your Mac. iMovie automatically saves any projects you create and media you import in the new library.
If you want to open the library you moved to an external drive, you can open it after you reconnect the external drive. You can then move clips, events, and projects between libraries.
