My original download link the from the store does not work any more and I don't have access to my account anymore. Does anyone know how where or how to download photoshop elements 2020 in this situation? Thank you!

Do not rely on downlink links being available from Adobe forever. Adobe is notorious for silently removing download links and leaving users in the lurch.

Be self-sufficient. Once you''ve got a successful download, store it somewhere safe with your serial number in case of future installs. I have stored my installers in Dropbox - with a separate text file containing the serial number - for about 10 years now and never had an issue.

I have a serial number for adobe photoshop elements 2020. How can I install this on my new Macbook M15?

Joyful_Auroracc29,

You would need to download PSE 2020 from your Adobe account:

There was a brief period that any version below PSE 2023 stopped working on MacOS Tahoe 26.xx, but i just tried PSE 20222 on my M1 Mac Studio with macOS Tahoe 26.6.2 and it does run now, so Apple must have fixed whatever glitch was causing this message to appear:

Thank you very much John, I will give that a try. I actually had the original installation file, but it would give me the message in the attached file.

There is no official explanation from Adobe but it seems that the Elements installer expects the Creative Cloud desktop app (CCDA) to be installed, even though Elements is not a Cloud app.

Download and install the CCDA. No need to subscribe to anything. Then install Elements.
