Photoshop Elements on older Mac Mini

Hi friends

I have an older Mac Mini (late 2014 model) that can run up to Mac OS 12 Monterey.

The current standalone version of PE will allegedly run on this OS, but it requires an Intel 6th Generation or newer processor. My machine has an Intel 4th gen processor.

The question to which I cannot find an answer in any help forum is.......

 

Which legacy version of PE will run on an Intel 4th gen machine?

    You should be able to run the latest photoshop elements 2024 on that 2014 Mac Mini.

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey 12.7.1 and photoshop elements 2024 seems to work just fine.

     

    There may be some features of photoshop elements that run better with later processors, but i haven't found or heard

    of any that don't work on older than 6th generation processors.

      Thanks Jeff! Do you happen to know how many machines you can install PE onto with a single purchase? I don't see that info on the purchase page.

      You can install on many, but be signed in on only two at a time, and use only one at a time.
