  Hope this isn't too dumb a question.....

But I have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is installed on my PC.

Does Photo Shop Automatically come with that?

I live in Central Texas.

I have an All In One HP Pavilion that it a couple of years old.

I DO NOT know much about computers

Wondering if I have to PAY to have it added on...

Acrobat Reader is a free application for viewing PDF files.

Photoshop is a completely separate application for editing photos and more.

We can't say what your computer came with.  HP and other computer makers often bundle OEM software into their devices.  OEM means it works on that device only and cannot be installed on any other machine.

Look in your Start Menu or Program Files folder to see what all you have on your system.

If that computer is 32bit, not 64bit, you will have to go to Amazon to buy version 14, since Elements 15 is 64bit only

Additionally, I just want something BASIC.

I would not know what to do with something that was COMPLICATED...

Don't want to blame anyone, but sometimes my wife, when she is bored, if she doesn't use something, she just gets 'rid of things on the computer'...

That is why I am WONDERING if Photo Shop Automatically CAME with the Adobe Acrobat.

I do NOT want to accuse her of ANYTHING at all...She is a keeper!

Adobe Photoshop Elements 15 is fairly simple to use.  Currently offered for $69.99 ($30 off the regular price).
