Greetings,

 

We’re trying to install new Elements on Win 11 PRO machine but have issue.

First after downloading the .exe it said it was corrupt so we went and downloaded it on other PC.

After doing that we were was able to start the installer, was prompted for admin info but got “Sign in Error”.

 

Regards,

WaterGuy98

Supported Windows Versions:

Microsoft Windows 10 (version 22H2) or Windows 11 (version 22H2), 64-bit versions only; Windows 7, Windows 8.1 not supported.

 

Restart Windows in Safe Mode. Then try to install PS Elements.

 

Hope that helps.

Does your device meet the current PS Elements system requirements?

Are you using a browser other than Opera to download the installer?
