Hi Mariam,

It's been a huge week in the Lightroom world and Lightroom has changed forever.

There are now two Lightrooms:

Lightroom CC - a brand new product with a brand new workflow with all your photos stored in the Adobe Cloud. Why the new product has got exactly the same name as the old Lightroom only Adobe knows. Everyone else seems to think it's a really bad and confusing idea. Requires Windows 10.
Lightroom Classic CC - which is the upgraded version of old Lightroom CC that you've been used to where your photos are stored in a catalogue on your desktop. If you want to upgrade your existing Lightroom CC, install Classic CC which will run on Windows 7. As mentioned above, you won't be able to install the new CC unless you first upgrade to Windows 10. That's what the error message you posted is telling you.
