I own Lightroom Classic CC 7.3. Is this version compatible with the new Apple M1 Chip ?

Your post has me worried for you. Why would you still be using v7.3 when the current version is at 11.2 ?

Do you pay a regular subscription fee?

There was a few unfortunate people who managed to upgrade v6 to a v7 as a 'Perpetual' version, which should not be possible without a subscription.

Can you post a screen-clip of your LrC System Info (MENU: Help > System Info...) that would assist an answer to your question.

And, yes, Version 11.2 LrC will install on Apple M1 systems. (You will not be able to get v7.3).

I don't need subscriptions.

Then you are 'stuck'! You will NOT be able to re-install 7.3 anywhere. It is working as an 'illegal version',

and yet your screen-clip indicates you have a "Creative Cloud" Licence- very ODD!

Are you sure you are not paying a Monthly or Annual fee to Adobe?

By compatible, I assume you mean run natively, without Rosetta 2.

Yes, Lightroom Classic runs natively on M1.

For a list of Adobe apps which run natively on M1, see:

Thanks John Waller You folks are real quick ... I appreciate that. Before spending big bucks on the new iMac M1 I needed to be 100% sure Lightroom Classic CC Version 7.3 works on it !

To be clear, @joed22840758, Lightroom Classic has run natively on the M1 only since version 10.3 in June 2021.

As @Rob_Cullen says, your version 7.3 is older than that so it will not install on M1.

If you are a Cloud subscriber update to the current version of Lightroom Classic to run LR Classic on the M1.
