I just recently bought a Lenovo Ideapad computer that has Windows 11 on it.  In 2013, I bought the student's version of Adobe CS6, and I tried to install it on my new computer.  However, when I did, I got all sorst of trouble!  It said that there was a driver I didn't have that I needed, and in the end, I had to restart my computer from scratch.  I never did download it at all.  Is there a way to do that, and how?  If not, why, and can I get any Adobe product like it?  I have a lot of brushes and fonts I used with my CS6 that I would like to continue to use in a new program.  HELP!!

CS6 is efectively 'dead' for you. Downloads and support finished long ago.

"to continue to use in a new program...."  you will need to subscribe to the Photography (1TB) Plan and install the current version of Photoshop that is v26.5 and compatible with Windows-11.
