Installing Discs on my new laptop

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

unless your new laptop has a very old os, you can't install cs5 (or any 32 bit software) on a 64 bit only os.

Here are the requirements for CS5, including MacOS v10.5.7 or v10.6

Apple closed us out of older applications (again). CS5 will not run on macOS14 Sonoma
