Trouble Downloading Photoshop

I started a 7-day free trial today as I need Photoshop and Lightroom for an internship I'm due to start tomorrow.

However, I'm unable to download any of the programmes as my laptop has insufficient space. Additionally, I cannot delete anything of the existing apps on the laptop, as they are essential to ensuring the laptop runs smoothly.

Because of this, does anyone know if there are online versions of Photoshop and Lightroom that I could use as part of the free trial?

Thanks for the help in advance!

What are the exact specs of your laptop? Which operating system? Solid state hard drive?

As Nancy suggests, it sounds like your laptop will struggle to run Photoshop and Lightroom if you have no hard drive space to even install them.

You won't get very far with Adobe products on an under powered laptop.  Without sufficient free disk space and RAM, your user experience would be painfully slow and exasperating. 

See the minimum system requirements below.
