What is "my pad" exactly? Which operating system is running on it?

PSE 12 is only runniong with Windows or older versions of MacOS

  

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Axel, thanks for your support. The pad is a Microsoft Surface Pro running on Windows 10.

Buy an external USB DVD drive

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
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions
