Can I download CC on Chromebooks?

[Saira Ahmad]

I have the Acer Chromebook R11, but no luck downloading/installing Audition, Illustrator, Photoshop etc. on this laptop. Anyone know how I can go around this? It's for my college classes and my professors aren't able to figure it out.

No, Chromebooks run the Chrome operating system which will only run apps from the Chrome webstore.

Chromebooks are basically mobile devices with a laptop form factor. Not powerful enough to run Adobe Cloud software.

Creative Cloud software only runs on Windows and Apple Mac operating systems.

Buy a real computer running either Window or Mac OS X.

You need a powerful Laptop or Desktop computer that meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run Creative Cloud Desktop App + all other apps you intend to use.  Min-requirements vary by product.

A Chromebook is what kids and grandparents use to check G-mail and use Google docs. Beyond that it's not good for much.
