Hello!

I currently have Photoshop CS5 installed on my 64-bit Windows 7 Desktop computer, and I was planning on upgrading to Windows 10. The only thing holding me back is I'm not sure if Photoshop CS5 will work on Windows 10.

So my question is... will Adobe Photoshop CS5 work on Windows 10?

Thanks,

Bill

-also, only CURRENT products will be tested and updated for compatibility with Windows 10

-so if you have an older program, you update to Windows 10 at YOUR risk of problems

An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10

Does this work with Windows 11?

I've recently upgraded my Windows 10 PC.

If you are savvy enough to download Windows 11 when it hasn't even been released yet, then just install and try it. Who knows? It might work. Me? It is too soon to concern myself with a Beta version of Windows yet.

I've had an install of Premier Pro on Windows 10 forever. But after it crashed today I mistakenly followed its advice and tried to uninstall/reisntall.

The uninstall happened, I think. But the re-install won't work. The installer fails with dozens of errors of this form:

"WARNING: OS requirements not met for {xxxx}"

And then dozens of messages like this: "WARNING: DW036: payload cannot be installed due to the failure of the operation dependent"

Is there any way to make this work?

(Yes, I know CS5 is old. But it mostly works for what I need, and I already paid (a lot!) for it)

I've been using CS5 on four Windows 10 64-bit PCs for over a year with no problems. I do not recall any installaion problems. It works fine just like it did on my old Windows 7 machines.

Mind if I ask what computer you're using? I'm currently shopping for a new one. I have the creative standard design suite CS5 and I don't want to upgrade it.

I have no problem telling you about my PC but I don't think it will be of much help. I'm low budget and my PC is a refurbished (by HP) desktop model 500-424 which came with Win10 Pro installed. But I've also installed CS5 on my laptop, an Asus Aspire V5-571 with Win10 Home. Both work fine and neither caused any problem installing CS5. The laptop is significantly less powerful than the desktop. Phil

Bill,

Yes it works fine. I have been using Master Suite CS5 on 2 machines since the summer that were upgraded to Windows 10. I had some issues installing on a new machine with Windows 10 but I solved them. The most problematic was Premiere Pro as it would crash on opening and closing. This was not an issue with the machines that already had CS5 installed but was an issue installing as new. This was only an issue with Premiere Pro. Photoshop installed just fine.

A couple of things to remember and might be wise to keep a text file along with a folder of CS5 updates/downloads. Installing CS5 can be done in Windows 10 by opening the setup file in Compatibility Mode for Windows 7. Right click the file and hit properties. compatibility and select win 7 and then double click the setup file. The second thing to remember is Adobe Application Manager will not function in Windows 10. There is an update for AAM and it's specified for CS5.5 and CC. It also works to update AAM in CS5. I tested it last night and solved my issue updating my applications in Windows 10 to the last versions.

Hope this helps.

Bill, I have just downloaded CS5 on a Windows 10 system, all the toolbars and the text that goes with then are very small and I cannot find a solution. Have you had this problem?

Jack.
