I think, if your computer's configuration good enough for the new versions, so you should go for the latest versions. Because you will have more options and new features to play with your images.  

So, forget about the older versions.

So long as you have a paid subscription, then with that license you can still run older versions of the CC apps – although anything older than the last two major releases (2022 and 2021) is unsupported by Adobe.

 

Some prior versions of the genuine apps can still be downloaded using the original direct download links. Again, Adobe won't force you to upgrade, but older releases may not run on newer versions of macOS and Adobe won't provide official support for them.

If you have a valid license for an older product you can use it.

But it may not be compatible with new operating systems

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Unlikely to be legal. Sounds like a cracked verison. So not allowed.
