Question

will my existing Adobe Acrobat Pro 2017 run under Windows 11 (runs fine, under Windows 10)

Adobe stopped supporting this application in June and I hesitate to "upgrade" to Windows 11 from 10.

I assume that the "upgrade" to 11 will not un-install Acrobat Pro 2017.

I can't guarantee Acrobat 2017 will run right on Win11 as it's 5 years out of date.  It might work, it might not.  However I know for sure that current Acrobat DC Pro works with Win 11.

After installing new OS, you'll likely need to reinstall Acrobat.

yes, it should work without problem.

 

and windows has a compatibility mode, if needed. so, you can run any exe under different os settings.

 

right click the exe > click properties > click compatibility > tick run in compatibility mode > select the needed os.

 

 

(note: the above screenshot doesn't show win 10 because my os is win 10.)
