Can I install PS-7 from a CD onto WIN 10 ?

[Michael J. Hoffman]

Hi Herbert,

By PS-7 do you mean Photoshop version 7.0, originally released in 2002?

I haven't heard any reports one way or the other of it working on Windows 10, but you can always test it out to see. Certainly, it isn't supported, but you might have some luck with it.

Or, save yourself some headache, and sign up for the Creative Cloud for Photographers plan for $9.99 a month, and get the latest Photoshop and Lightroom versions that will definitely run on Windows 10.

Mike, Thanks for your speedy reply. My wife is a beginner, and CC would not be appropriate for her needs. She had been using Photoshop version 7 and it suits her needs. The program was installed and worked well in Windows 7. Do you foresee any problems by installing it on a new Windows 10 computer?

Thank you,Herbert Kammer

Not tested due to age, and not supported for the same reason

An idea that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10... works for some, not for others

-or Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)
