I am quite happy usig this old version of Photoshop elements but and have no real desire to update but I cannot find a way to download it onto my new laptop as the Adobe website doesn not appear to go back as far as 2003 which I think is the year of my disk. I have box and necessary passwords etc.

      On another computer with a CD drive, copy the content to a thumb drive, then install it via USB on the new laptop.

      Whether PSEv.2 will work on a modern operating system is problematic.

      Christine, per hatstead's suggestion (and simply out of curiosity!) I opened my PSE2 install disk in Windows Explorer, selected everything (Ctrl-A) and copied the selection to a USB flash drive.

      Then I opened the flash drive in Windows Explorer and clicked Autoplay.exe which brought up this:

      This certainly looks like a good start of the PSE install, but I didn't continue since PSE is already on my PC.

      If you can do the same and copy the PSE disk onto your USB drive it's worth a try.

      FYI, the size of the install disk files is approx 243,000,000 bytes.

      Here it is in Windows Explorer.

      PSE2 works just fine on my Windows 7. I installed it directly from the original disk (not via Adobe web site).

      I've seen posts in this forum about PSE2 also working on Windows 8 and 10.

      Note that some users report that PSE2 will not work on hard drives over 1 terabyte.

      Mark,

      OP does not have a CD drive on the laptop, hence the suggested work-around.

      PSEv.2 is no longer available via Adobe's servers.
