How to INSTALL CS5.5 on Windows 10?

[Paola in Boston]

I own CS5.5 on discs so is it possible to install it on any version of Windows 10?

I've heard that some people have installed it successfully while others can't seem to install it, so any tips to install it without issues?

I'll be buying a new laptop soon and will make sure I do all updates before attempting to install CS5.

Thanks to anyone who has installed it and can help me.

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10
-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

After installation, there will be an icon on the desktop, just like the icons on your Windows 7 computer.

And when do i righ click it?

By @Paola in Boston

When you want to open a program.

And where will the "icon" or find the "EXE", when I try to install the discs or before i try the install?

The file installed in C:/Program Files will have a file extension of .exe, such as Premiere Pro.exe.
