Hello,

My Mac got destroyed due to water spill and I need to urgently install phtoshop and illustrator on wondows 8. However adobe asks me to update to windows 10, without giving me paycheck for it. How can i install and use photoshop on windows 8?

Windows 8 is not supported by the current subscription programs

Adobe now offers the current and ONE older version via the online program manager
.
I do not know how far back this process will go, but try this link
-NOTE that you will have to search the site for your specific download
Direct Download Links https://prodesigntools.com/tag/ddl MAY help
-you MUST do what it says in Note: Very Important Instructions
-https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2015-direct-download-links.html#download-instructions
-the prodesign links go directly to Adobe's file server, so this process will
--only work until Adobe completely removes the old version(s) from the server
.
IF/When you do have a download, be sure to copy it to AT LEAST one external device
-since Adobe does sometimes remove old versions from the server
-a usb flash drive or external hard drive, or write to a DVD

Any that can run phtoshop and illustator on windows 8. I was using the latest creative suite on mac. Not sure about compatibility issues. Thanks

You need to upgrade to Win10.  Creative Cloud won't run on Win8 or 8.1.

No-can-do.  Sorry.

Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

• Windows 10 versions 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909 (LTSB branches are not supported;)
• macOS 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 10.16 or 10.15 (Catalina).
