Failure to import media with new GoPro Hero 11 camera

I am not computer literate and am using an older computer with Windows 10. When my GoPro Hero 8 died recently I got a new Hero 11 replacement. Using the GoPro Hero 11, when I tried to create a video in the video editor I got the message that PE was unable to import the media and I must load HEVC which, according to my computer System, I already have loaded.

I then got out an old Hero 8-made video and it loads successfully in the video editor, as usual.

?Perhaps I need new hardware?

How old is the computer and Premiere Elements version?  HEVC (or "H.265") is relatively new.  Its adoption has not been universally successful due to licensing issues.

HEVC https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-elements-discussions/import-hevc/td-p/13235249

OR

use https://handbrake.fr/ open source transcoder/converter to convert to a format you may edit

For the future, check your camera manual to find out if you may have it record in a more compatible format
