Photoshop issues - Is my laptop the problem?
Hey there,
I'm using my laptop mainly für Photoshop, I use Photoshop CC (latest version) and love the program, but lately it's driving me nuts.
It crashes quite often (which means it freezes while zooming, the program still works, I can open a new picture and edit, but I cannot edit anything in the frozen picture) and now there's even pop ups telling me that there's problems. Is has been going on for a while now. It also deletes Add-Ons and makes it impossible to reinstall them. Not sure why that is as well. I have the newest version. I tried to downgrade but that made everything even worse, so I installed the newest version again.
I bought my laptop a few years ago to be used for Photoshop. I thought I did good research, but I get the feeling that I failed.
My questions are:
I'll tell you my laptop specs, Do you think it should work just fine? If not: What is causing the troubles?
Would I be able to upgrad my laptop?
My Laptop:
Lenovo ThinkPad P51
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.81 GHz
32,0 GB RAM
512 GB SSD
Nvidia Quadro M1200M 4,0GB
Windows 10 (I cannot upgrade to 11 as it says that the CPU is not compatible)
Please let me know if Photoshop should wr with this hardware and if not what is causing the problem.
Thank you!
