I'm a student at PUCCAMP, my PC lacks AVX2 support. Can you provide a direct link for Photoshop 2019/2020?

Hello,

I am a student (PUCCAMP) with an active Creative Cloud license. My computer’s processor does not support the AVX2 instruction set, which is required for the latest Photoshop versions (v22 and newer).

I need a direct download link for Photoshop 2019 (v20) or Photoshop 2020 (v21) because the "Other Versions" option is not appearing in my Creative Cloud Desktop app.

Could you please provide a secure official link or help me get the installer for an older, compatible version?

Thank you!

Nobody here, or at Adobe support, is able to provide a link to an old version

Ask the IT staff at your university if they have an old version download saved

AVX2 is nothing new.

It’s been the CPU standard for modern computers since 2015.

Maybe it’s time to get a newer computer that can run modern software & games.
