I just upgraded my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 2024 (upgrade purchase).  Went just fine.  Question: Can I uninstall my previous version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 2023 that is still on my Windows 11 PC?

    Yes you can uninstall it:  BEFORE YOU DO:  open up the PSE  EDITOR and LOG OUT OF IT. That will deauthorize it on that computer it is installed on.   previous versions never really take up much space so I generally leave them alone-- I probably have 6 or 7 versions installed at any one time-- I use them to help people with.

    BEFORE YOU UNISTALL IT:   copy and paste any of your old content for installed- stuff like brushes and actions. 

    This will help you find the needed files:

    Any number of users here can help you place backup copies of these into PSE 2024, if needed.

      I just checked:  Looks like I have 7 versions of PSE installed. 

      There really isn't any reason for you to bother with any older versions-- I do like using PSE 14 every now and then.
