My old laptop had Windows 10 and Elements 15 installed. I upgraded to Windows 11 and now Elements 15 won't open. Any suggestions?

Based on feedback from other users, Elements 15 can't run on Windows 11. Unless you have access to an old computer & OS that can support it, 8 year old software will need to be replaced with Elements 2023. Please see system requirements.

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 or Windows 11
-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

Or buy the new version http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html
