Reinstalling Elements 15

[sheldons57168283]

My old laptop had Windows 10 and Elements 15 installed. I upgraded to Windows 11 and now Elements 15 won't open. Any suggestions?

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 or Windows 11
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

Or buy the new version http://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html

did compatibility mode work?

Based on feedback from other users, Elements 15 can't run on Windows 11.  Unless you have access to an old computer & OS that can support it, 8 year old software will need to be replaced with Elements 2023.  Please see system requirements.
