    As stated, legacy CS6 will most likely work on Win10 with latest updates but there are no guarantees for how long.  If your Win edition supports it, running in compatibility mode is another option.

     

    That said, I DO NOT recommend using obsolete web authoring software to build modern websites.  The web and browsers/devices have changed too much in 10 years for CS6 to be beneficial.

     

    If you must use CS6 to maintain legacy sites, do it alongside modern coding tools with support for current web standards.

    CS6 was made, and ceased receiving updates, 3 years before Windows 10 came out.

    It does function for the majority of users who attempt to install it under Windows 10, even  though it is not technically supported. 

    A word of caution, CS6 is no longer sold or supported. Unless you purchased it from Adobe directly, years ago, there's a very high liklihood the software is not legitimate, or could be one of many revoked volume licenses sold by shady, fly by night software companies between 2013 and now.
