Is Photoshop CS5, which I currently use with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, also compatible with Windows 10 64-bit OS?

Hi,

I currently use Photoshop CS5 with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS.  I like CS5, and have no need to upgrade to the CC products.  I also am thinking of purchasing a new PC with Windows 10 64-bit OS.  Will my Photoshop CS5 work with Windows 10?

Additionally, if CS5 is compatible with Win 10, must I first uninstall CS5 on my current machine prior to installing it on the new machine, or can I simply use my CS5 disk to install directly to the new PC with Win 10?

Thanks,

Richard

    No need to uninstall CS 5 from old machine ,. it is very very important to deactivate the activation from Help menu to save  Activation count.

    All individual apps can be activated on 2 machines. Regarding activation count for more details , you may check with Adobe support once and get confirmation .

    Hmm , regarding compatibility .. cannot say it is completely compatible, but you can give a try . most of the cases , it works just fine , But we cannot guarantee or say like it will work smoothly or can be installed on Windows 10 without any issues.

    If you face any issue with installation discs, you may download from below link :

    Thanks very much for your response.  Good to know that I can activation should not be a problem.  I'm a little uneasy regarding the compatibility issue.   If there are problems, can you describe what the common compatibility issues are?    Can you answer the same questions regarding compatibility of CS6?  If CS6 compatibility is pretty much a sure thing, can I still purchase CS6 disk?

    Thanks again,

    Richard

    I don't think there is compatibility issue with CS 6 on Windows 10. it shud work fine.

    CS 5 issues, refer below link once :

    Regarding CS 6 purchase , you need to check with Adobe sales support via Phone :
