Is there a photoshop/lightroom package for windows 8.1?

[bestbass42]

Hello everyone. Yesterday I took the plunge and bought the photoshop/lightroom monthly package. However a page came up with ''This computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for Lightroom CC'' . I Initially thought I had too much stuff on my PC and not enough space for it so I removed lots of videos and photos but have since found out its because i'm running windows 8.1 and not windows 10. I Did try windows 10 when it first came out but I hated it and went back to windows 8.1. So my question is can I get photoshop and lightroom anywhere that runs on windows 8.1? I Do not want to risk windows 10 again especially as it's no longer free.

Thank you in advance,

Photoshop works just fine on Windows 8.1 (see the system requirements page: Photoshop system requirements )

Lightroom also works on just fine on Windows 8.1 (see the system requirements page: Lightroom Classic CC system requirements )

What are your other system specs? How much RAM do you have? What processor? Etc.

Thank you for the reply. I Initially thought it was because I didn't have enough ram on my PC but when speaking to Adobe they sent me the system requirements page and on there it said operating system needs to be Windows 10. I Asked them if there was another program but they said no and refunded my payment. But later I realised that I had the free seven day trial at the start of the year and was on 8.1 then and also a friend of mine is also using photoshop and lightroom while still on windows 8.1. I Have an Alienware 18 PC with intel core i7 and 16384MB RAM.

I Have now downloaded the Lightroom Classic via the Adobe site and have got it working with no problem at all! I Haven't been asked to pay for anything yet so I presume it's on seven day trial. Can't understand why the first time I tried to download Lightroom I had the above problems, maybe it was a newer version?

Whoever told you you need to have Windows 10 is wrong. All of the recent releases should work on Windows 7.1 and 8.1 as well as Windows 10

Lightroom Classic CC works fine on a Windows 8.1 PC

Lightroom CC isn't (Windows 10 required)

OK, After getting some advice on here, having the Lightroom CC trial for seven days with no problems, I have again tried to 'BUY' Lightroom CC and guess what, I have run into the same trouble!!! I Have loads of memory/RAM on my PC but its running 8.1. I Have been told it works fine with 8.1. This is the message thats come up and on chat with Adobe the agent is saying I need Windows 10!!!!
