hello!

 

I recently bought the creative cloud but it isnt compatible with my windows pc. I was wondering if it would work as well as in a macbook if i buy an Ipad. And which one? Does it have to be the Pro or is the Ipad air good enough? I want it to work as well as in a computer, i mean, better than in the Iphone. 

Thank you very much!!

Is your windows computer too old? You will need as much RAM as you can afford to run Lightroom and other apps on an iPad because you can't upgrade the RAM after purchase.  Lighroom works well on an iPad Pro - much better than the Air - again you want to get it as maxed out with RAM and Storage as your budget will allow.

Tell us about your PC. I'm using an old HP Pavilion tower. I originally purchased it with Windows 7 and 4 GB RAM. I have since "upgraded" it to Windows 10 and expanded it to 8 GB RAM (that's all the motherboard will accommodate) and have replaced the hard drive with a 1 TB SSD. It runs LrC just fine. The computer is about eight years old.

Thank you very much for your help!

My computer is 5 or 6 years old. It’s a HP.
Does it mean the Ipad pro is good enough or is there a way i can adapt my pc ?
Or should i buy something other than an ipad? I want the « cheapest » solution that will allow me to fully use the lightroom, lightroom Classic and Photoshop.

Thank you so much!
