Unable to install Photoshop CS5 up-grade on a new computer. [was: Fairrel]

I can't install Photoshop CS5 up-grade on a new computer.              Any suggestions?

    My CS5 up-grade ran on Windows Vista and Windows 7. My CS3

    up-grade probably ran on Windows XP many years ago. It was so long

    ago I honestly don't remember. I originally got Photoshop in

    2001 and don't know what happened to that original

    CD. Everything I've had since then has been an up-grade.

    My new computer is running Windows 8.1 and that's where I'm trying to

    install my Photoshop CS5 up-grade software.

    I understand that Adobe can resolve the serial number problem but my

    efforts to reach someone at Adobe for several weeks has been

    fruitless. When I call their customer service number I always get

    someone in India and always get put on hold and they never come

    back. If I could get in touch with someone at Adobe in the United

    States I think I could at least get a final answer but that doesn't seem to

    be possible.

    I appreciate that you guys have tried to help and sorry that I have been a

    bother. At this point I don't have a clue where to turn

    next.

    Thanks.

    I have a new Dell computer running Windows 8.1 and I am unable to install

    my copy of Photoshop CS5 up-grade. I started using Photoshop many years

    ago and do not have my original copy of the software.
