I have windows 10. I purchased Photoshop Elements 2021/2022 a few days ago. I have installed Adobe Acrobat DC, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Spo2 Assistant. Photoshop Elements will not download and install. It says it isn't compatible with my system. It seems to think I have windows 8. It says to install the mecessary files.. What files? It also doesn't recognize that my pc is connected to the internet. I have tried everything I can think of. I may ebd up having to get a refund if I can't use the program. Please help

If you have the Creative Cloud ALL APPS plan, you already  have access to pro-level Photoshop CC.  Not sure why you would need or want PS Elements which is a lite version aimed at amateurs & hobbyists.

What are the complete computer specs, including hard drives (how many, what kind, what is on each, what capacity, and how full)?

I guess I'm a "amateurs & hobbyists" then. Either way, I tried one more time before asking for a refund. I have no idea what I did different but it finally installed. It's like when you swear it ain't raining then you step out the door and it starts pouring down(lol). I have used photoshop for years and can find my way through it fairly easy. Anyway, it's done now and I'm a happy camper for now. Thanks anyway
