Install PS 25.7 via CreativeCloud

Question

Hello,my laptop has no AVX2-support (Core i7 3rd Generation) and when I try to install Photoshop on it it fails.I know that the laptop is old but it is still fast enough for me.I read that PS 25.7 should run on that CPU.But in the CreateiveCloudCenter I canot download old versions anymore.Where do I get an old version of PS?I pay 750 Euro every year to adobe and cannot access old versions? Did I miss something? Greetings Stefan

The AVX2 requirement has been in place for quite a few years. Even if you - hypothetically - could find a v25 installer, I very much doubt it would work. I think you’d need to go further back.

But basically, if you want to use Photoshop, you need reasonably current hardware - which is to say, up to 7 or 8 years max. To take advantage of new hardware development, it is simply not possible to maintain compatibility with 14-15 year old computers, which is what you have. AVX2 was supported by Intel processors from 2013.
