How to download earlier versions?

[MMartinsIllustration]

I have a subscription to Creative Cloud and previously had Photoshop and Illustrator installed on my computer. My computer is old and was having trouble running them so I uninstalled them a couple weeks ago. Now I'm trying to reinstall older versions to see if they might run better, but I can't seem to find a way to access earlier versions of the programs. I've followed the instructions on this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html but under "other versions" nothing is listed on my Creative Cloud app. Additionally it appears the latest update is no longer compatible with my device. Any ideas how I can download earlier versions that may be compatible?

Adobe now only provides the current and one version older

Specifically, which products and versions are you seeking?  

Which operating system do you have?

Creative Cloud won't work on Windows 8 or 8.1 or less than Mac Sierra.

I have Windows 8.1 unfortunately. I looked at requirements for earlier versions and it does appear 8.1 is included, but not for this latest release. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements/earlier-versions.html So I guess I'm back to the original question- can I install this earlier version somehow? My system meets the requirements for 19x and earlier according to the page I linked.

The problem is Creative Cloud desktop app requires Windows 10 (64-bit).   It won't work with Win 8 or 8.1

Creative Cloud desktop app

The Creative Cloud desktop app has the following requirements:

• Microsoft® Windows 10 (64 bit only)
• Mac OS X v10.12 and later
• Internet connection

Thanks everyone for the advice, unfortunately none of the suggestions here worked, but I contacted a customer service rep who was able to link me directly to 2018 download files.
