Need help to download an InDesign 2018 installer. I can't find it anywhere on the website. I have upgraded my old laptop (Dell Inspiron 14 N4050) to windows 10 and I can't find my CC installer anymore. Please please please

Hi @lemniscates, Adobe supports and provides downloads only for the current and the one prior version of its Creative Cloud apps. Current app is 2026 so you won’t find the link to 2018 installer anywhere. Is your computer not capable to run the latest version?

Yes. I was able to try the latest CC but it says not supported and there are no options to pick an older version. Is there a way to request an installer for the old version?

There is no genuine source of the older installers. The only way you may possibly get it is by contacting Adobe Support as suggested by @leo.r

There are no official ways to download InDesign 2018 anymore. Only the current + one previous version are available (that is, 2026 & 2025). You can try to contact Adobe support and present your case; if they decide you have legitimate reasons, they might provide you the installer link, but don’t count on it. Why specifically do you need InDesign 2018?

could you please give me a link to that support? I’m having trouble finding it in the help center.

I need that version because I’ve been using it on my laptop before I upgraded from Windows 8. I just thought I could download the installer before the OS upgrade.
