Hello - -

I have a Windows 10 desktop PC with Adobe Acrobat X installed (licensed, I'm original owner). It Acrobat X meets my needs perfectly.

 

I'm geting ready to buy a new PC that will can run Windows 11. What are my options? Can I install Acrobat X on a brand new Dell Windows 11 desktop? Is there an upgraded version of Acrobat X that I could purchase?

 

Thank you for your kind assistance.

You can try, but expect issues, especially with things that require OS integration like printing and sending emails.

To increase the chances of it working properly make sure you have all updates installed (up to 10.1.16) and run it in Compatibility Mode with an earlier OS, like Windows 7.
Updates are available here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/10.x/
You must use a dedicated FTP client to open the link, it won't work in most browsers.

 

The upgraded version is Acrobat DC (subscription) or Acrobat 2020 ("perpetual" license).
