catalina and elements 2020 issues

thx for the clear response, but I still have questions,

Up till now I am working with PSE 13. I only read on google there was some problem concerning PSE 19, but that doesn't count for me. I just do not want te get in the same trouble. And if it was true, I do not like that policy. If I read your answer well, it was only a problem if you installed pse2019, and only then tried to migrate the program to a mac with catalina. Still, I think it was well possible for the company to give a free upgrade only to these people as a solution. But I repeat, it is not for me.

About my questions: I am not very much used to update, upgrade, buy... (on adobe). So I thought when you get a trial, it is not possible to do the upgrade anymore, you have to BUY (which is more expensive). After all, I am working with PSE (13) for 5 years now, I do not need to try it out to know the possibilities of the program. I just want to have a version which is working on my macbook pro after upgrading to catalina.

A second problem I have with trials in general: I can install a trial today, but I do not know if I find the time to try it out tomorrow, or even the next month. In that way I bought adobe premiere elements 13 in 2015, and I only started using it last year (2019). So, I fear I just do not have the time for a real test.

What I do not know, and what I have to decide: 2 possibilities:

1: I first upgrade my mac to catalina. Probably pse 13 will not work anymore. And if I then find out I can not get pse 2020 working properly, I am without pse for who knows how long... (same problem with premiere). And I can not undo the upgrade to catalina.

2: I do first the upgrade to pse 2020 (or the trial). But at that moment I do not know if it will run once I convert to catalina. And after the conversion I cannot turn back, whatever the outcome.

So, this leaves me with 2 questions: 1: Is pse2020 (and adobe premiere elements 2020) presently running fine on catalina? And 2: can I upgrade my pse13 to pse2020 AFTER I converted my machine to catalina (I expect this can give some trouble as at that moment pse13 is not working anymore, and I do not know the exact criteria they are using to give me an upgrade)?

Thanks for helping me out.

thx for the response.

I am very sorry, but I cannot give you a particular page. What I mean is if I am searching around, on google, or on this support community, wherever, I can find several items where issues are mentioned (fi when saving a copy, you have to change the name manually, ...). Some posts are probably older ones, but it is not always clear how old. What I really miss is a clear note that these issues are solved, AND that the solution is solved in the latest version (or update) of the program. I simply find more negative posts than positive, and I think this is a pitty.

I am not a frequent user, and I do not want to upgrade every year. 1st: this is too expensive for the use I make. 2nd: I can never learn to work properly with a program, if it changes every 10th time I start it, even if it were minor changes. So please save me from an upgrade every year, however I do not have a problem with updates.

To be clear: I am working on PSE 13 since 2015, and I never had to do 1 UPDATE to keep it working. But I can understand it is not compatible with the newest osx anymore. I just do not want to buy a version which turns unusable next year, or, which turns out to be full of issues which never get solved.

For now, I am just missing the confidence to do a upgrade.
