I'm getting back into photography after a hiatus of several years. I'm still using Lightroom 6 and would like to use Elements 11 which was previously on a Windows 7 PC. I've notices several posts that indicated potential problems with windows 11.

I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts, experience, and opinions whether Elements 11 will run successfully on a laptop with Windows 11.

Thanks and I hope you have a good week!

I have not read all the replies, but just to add that I recently purchaces a new ASUS windows 11 laptop and loaded Eliments 11 from original disc that has worked on my old windows 8 - 8.1 then 10 with no issues. It loaded then advised me installation complete need to restart, then crashed the laptop, would not restart. I had to reinstall windows 11 plus all the other programs I had already installed. Bit disapointed but a lesson learned. Set a restore point after every change / install.

Dipping my oar in the water, I just bought a new computer with Windiws 11. I had some problems so started creating restore points regularly. when I installed Photoshop Elements 9, which ran just fine on my Windows 10 laptop. But when I installed it in the new machine, it prevented restart -- I had to restore to the point prior to this installation. Tried it again to verify -- same. So that's another piece of software made useless by Microsoft!

It should.

Did you deactivate it from the W7 computer?

Is it activated on any other computers?

I haven't deactivated from the old PC as of yet. My concern is that loading PSE11 onto the Windows 11 PC may cause it to freeze (lockup). I read somewhere that the individual had to reload windows. I don't want to be that guy......

Thanks for responding.
