Question

Adobe CS x in Windows 7 and 10

Has someone successfully installed and works without troubles now with a version of Adobe CS (5; 5,5 or 6) in Windows 7 and now in Windows 10 on a MacBook Pro of 2010 (!) having installed Windows via Boot Camp? I use the software of Paragon (not Parallels). Which kind a OS.x do you use? I consider to upgrade my MacBook Pro (using Adobe CS 5 in Snow Leopard student/teacher edition so that I would have to buy another version but don't want to have to pay every month).

I still use Encore CS6 with Win10... but I have NO idea how well CS6 will work with a Windows emulator on a Mac

 

Do be VERY careful if you find someone selling CS6... lots of fakes on ebay

Creative Suite is no longer supported.  You use legacy software entirely at your own risk.  CS5 should work on Win10 but  there are no guarantees. It was designed to work on XP, Vista & Win7.

I have bought Adobe CS 5 only for Mac. But I could search for Adobe CS 6 in the internet now to get though it is no longer supported. I work well with Adobe CS 5 on Mac OS though it is no longer supported but this software has been offered especially for Snow Leopard (having bought it in 2010). So Adobe CS 6 might also work both on Windows 7 and Windows 10?

Creative Suite will never work with Catalina. Face it.  If you own a Mac, you need modern software.


MODERN OPTIONS:
Photoshop or Premier Elements 2020 (approx $100, no subscription needed)

Creative Cloud Photography Plan (approx $10/month for 1 year subscription)

Creative Cloud All Apps Plan (31 + apps & services)

===========
Beware of fake Adobe reps who may contact you privately offering to sell you software or take control of your computer. It's a scam, run away!  Creative Suite is not sold by legitimate vendors in any country.
