How do I update psd 21.2.5?

Why does adobe make this process as convoluted and time consuming as possible?

Finally got everything worked out!  The problem was the printer update.

Thanks to all for the help!

I finally managed to get it updated.  The old 2020 PSD is still on the hard drive, though.

Should I trash 2020?  If so, will trashing the psd folder in the apps folder be sufficient, or are there

other things that should also go.

Thanks so much.  My printer still doesn't function, so guess I need to update the driver.

Unfortunately, this printer only goes to Catalina.  If you hear a loud pop, it's just me blowing

my brains out.

I like to keep old versions until I'm certain I will never need them again.

Sometimes the latest version isn't all it's cracked up to be or worse, has too many bugs.

When you're ready to remove the old version, hit the uninstall button in Creative Cloud desktop app.

 

NOTE:  Owing to Adobe's N+1 version policy, only the last 2 major release versions are available from your CC Desktop App.   Once it's removed, older versions might be impossible to recover.

Thanks for your help, Nancy!   Updating the OS is perilous.

Did you update Creative Cloud desktop app lately?

 

Does your computer meet the minimum requirements?

Pay particular attention to Photoshop's new GPU requirements. See links below.

I'm not sure that clicking an update button in an app you should already be running is the most convoluted process I ever met for updating.
