Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Education Edition re-install on new PC

Hi, I need to re-install Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Education Edition because I'm ditching my old computer and have to transfer everything to a new one.

Do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first before I can re-install to new computer?  And if yes, should I have any problems re-installing to the new computer which runs Windows 10. 

I have the Product Code and a serial number which was provided in 2014.  So I'm just wondering if I might have any problems re-installing this software?

Thanks

In General, you should be able to get it on a Windows 10 machine.  You do not need to uninstall it on the old machine - in fact, if you would find it handy you can retain it in full working order on the old machine - your license allows for having two machines with activated installations.  If you want to disable it on the old machine, while you can uninstall if you like, the minimum you need to do is to deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate.

If you have problems...

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10

-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL Windows permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

    Thanks John.  So far so good but I'll use those options if I come across any problems. It seemed to load up okay so hopefully all good.
