As subject says, Will Premiere Elements 12 run on Windows 11, please?

I bought this with Photoshop Elements 12 and have never actually installed it. My teenage niece is wanting to get into video editing, has Windows 11, but I'm not sure it will run as the software is very old, of course.

I just wondered if anyone has had any experience of installing on a much newer Win OS

It would be brilliant if it did. Many thanks 🙂

Your teenage niece may do better using the program that comes with Windows 11. It is called ClipChamp. Premiere Elements is a good choice too, but not a version that was coded before your current operating system.

Thanks Bill

I did try to install Premiere Elements 12 but it hiccoughed at 'Organiser', then 'uninstalled' before completing. I haven't had time, yet, to try John's suggestions. However, I did ring Adobe this morning and spoke to a very helpful lady. Because I needed to add my email address to the laptop, in order to get a link, it was taking some time so she said she would phone me back at around lunchtime. Unfortunately, this hasn't happend so I'll ring them tomorrow. I have installed ClipChamp so, at least, my neice can use that if I can't get PE12 to install. Alternatively, I might look into an upgrade, depending cost 🙂

Thanks again for all your help 🙂

I don't think your very old version qualifies for an upgrade price, but check to verify

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 or Windows 11
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions
