I own photoshop elements 11 and have the disk but my new laptop doesn't have a disk drive. I found the software here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html. I downloaded the content but it wont install. The application says I need to download the rest of the content to install.  The thing is I have downloaded the rest of the content.  I am not sure what to do.  The first large file comes in a 7z file format. I have extracted the files to see if thats what I needed to do and it still didn't work.  I do need some help with this. The operating system is windows 8.1, 6 GB of ram, AMD quad core processor.

You don't need to touch the .7z file at all.

  1. Download the .7z and the .exe file to the same folder on your hard drive
  2. Double click the .exe file and follow the prompts
