Hi, how do I transfer my  pscs6. Which I use  intermidently.  And no don’t want to go to cc cloud.   My pc is almost dead, having trouble to get on line and even opening ps.   I am having to get a new or second hand pc or lap top and will be up grading to widows 10.  I still have my disc for pscs5. And ps cs6.  And may have made a mistake in uninstalling my ps cs5.   But I am told computers  don’t take discs,   Now,so how do I reinstall my ps cs6.  I don’t have or know my licence number, can’t get on to ps help via my query installed program as it tells me I am not on line. Even though I am.   Help please.  Thanks denise

    Here's the kind of DVD drive that's available nowadays and they're relatively cheap:

    Hi

    You may be able to get your serial number using Belarc Advisor, depending on the model you decide to buy a lot of Laptops/PC's come with DVD drives, if it doesn't have one you could always buy a USB DVD drive

    You can choose a second-hand computer with a disk drive (alternatively can get an external plug-in disk drive).

    Without a serial number you wont be able to install from your disks. Did you register with Adobe when you first got the disks, if so, you may be able to retrieve the number from Adobe.

    Earlier versions of Photoshop may not work with the latest OS.

    If you do get a new computer you might consider upgrading to Photoshop CC2019. The Photography Plan includes Photoshop and updates as they become available, plus Lightroom for around $10/£10 a month.
