Question

Transfering Photoshop to a different computer without downloading

My SSD on my desktop computer failed. I had my operating system and programs on it. I use the other two drives in the computer for files. I'm ready to start installing my programs on the new SSD drive that I installed. My BIG problem is that our internet is so bad!!  It gets worse and worse. Half the time it's only .3MBPS. It's almost impossible to download programs. I have Photoshop CC and Bridge, etc. on my laptop and I'm wondering if I can just copy them to a portable HD and put them on the desktop computer. I'm thinking that I can't as when you install a program it writes other files, too. Has anyone knowledge of how I can accomplish this? Waiting for many hours trying to download only to have it quit is a pain.  Thank you.

Sorry, can't be done. It's not just the program files, there's also a zillion registry settings that the installer creates or updates.

I appreciate the answer. That's what i thought. I'll have to try to download at night because it seems, after neighbors start hitting the rack, that our internet can get up to 2 MBPS or a little more. Still real slow but might work

Update: apparently you can get offline installers via customer care chat. Here's how:

If you can take your laptop to a place with better internet, download it to a portable drive there.
