How do I download an adobe indesign version that does not require 8GB ram

[Beauteous_art4250]

I used to have adobe indesign but it stopped working right so I uninstalled it but when I tried to reinstalled it it said incompatible

There's no official way to download this kind of antique InDesign version.

You can try to contact Adobe support to ask for a download link for an old version, but there's no guarantee they would do this.

8 GBs is very small by today's standards. Have you looked to see if your computer can have the RAM upgraded? RAM is relatively an inexpensive upgrade. 

I believe InDesign 2022 (17) was the last version to require a minimum of 4 GB, but I suspect it would have problems running with large/complex documents. You didn't mention what OS you are using but keep in mind that older software may not run properly on Macs.

I guess I'll just pile on here and tell you it's time to buy a new computer if you want to run any kind of modern software.

Right now, 8GB of RAM is barely enough to boot the system and do a basic Web browsing.
