Recently I've been trying to download Visual Studio 2012 Express, but I failed to find it. One day the links were there, and the next day all of them were replaced by 2013 editions. Even Google and Microsoft's own search in their Downloads site find 2012 editions, but when I open links I see that they are 2013 now.
Why did Microsoft do that? I find it strange that they removed 2012 links, especially because 2010 links are still there.

Where do I get Visual Studio 2012 Express now? We have a bunch of projects in TFS which we don't want to convert to 2013 yet.

In 2013, Microsoft began supplanting Visual Studio Express with the more feature-rich community edition of Visual Studio, which is also available free of charge. The last version of the Express edition is 2017.
Visual Studio 2012: support ends on January 10, 2023 for the IDE and its associated products, runtimes, and components. We recommend users upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio 2017: mainstream support ends April 12, 2022, and the product will transition to extended support until April 2027.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Express editions are free editions of Visual Studio 2012 with full features to build applications.
for windows desktop? This should work
