Does the last version of Photoshop Element can use a backup of and old version?

Question

I am looking for a new version because I had bought a new computer.

I have a very old version (9).

I want to know if the latest version (2024) can use a backup from the old version, with all the tags and all the categorires ?

Thansk.

You only need to install Elements 2024 on your new computer.  Then use it to Restore the backup.   The version 9 catalog will be converted to an Elements 2024 catalog with all of your tags intact.  There may be some quirks with face recognition tags.  Also, some Elements Creations (having a .pse extension) will not be converted.  This mainly affects slideshows which are entirely different in the newer version.  (Some users prefer the older slideshow feature and therefore keep their older Elements version installed.)
