Question

I have current ersion of Phototshop CC (24.5) on an old laptop (6-7 years old) that has a CPU that AMD no longer provides updates. That causes several problems in using Photoshop (laggy brush strokes and inability to use latest features such as Generative Fill)

Before buying a new computer I want to move Photoshop to Surface Pro 7 to see if it works.

I have 2 questions:

1. Do you know if Photoshop will work better on Surface Pro 7? Can I have Photoshop on 2 machines for a short period so that I can try it out?

2. How to move Photoshop to a new machine (either a Surface Pro or a new laptop)

    To clarify: apps cannot be moved. You have to install on each computer.

    you can do more.

     

    you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs. the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time.  

     

    because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier.
