Hi,

I just wanted to start with the next level of photo shooting/editing.

Thus I purchsed Lightroom 6 and when I installed it, a error message came up ...

it needs obviously a 64bit computer.

What can I do now?!?!

I the only chance to buy a new desktop?!?!

Thx,

    I also bought the download LR version 6 as an update of LR version 5.7 and tried to install it with the same error message of a 64bit windows version.

    But this is not mentioned in the "Systemanforderung". They write following for:

    Windows

       - Intel®- oder AMD-Prozessor mit 64-Bit-Unterstützung*

         - Windows 7 mit Service Pack 1, Windows 8 oder Windows 8.1

    * Doppelkern-Prozessor für HD- oder AVCHD-Funktionen empfohlen


    The same is mentioned for LR version 5


    There isn`t given any directive to use a 64bit Win 7 version, only the recommendation for the processor *...


    Does it really mean for LR6 is a 64bit WIN version necesary?

    If yes, what can I do to reject version LR6 and get my money back?

    Thx

    Adobe made it public knowledge several months ago that Lr 6 would by 64 bit only:

    Lightroom 6 will not run on a 32 bit operating system.

    I the only chance to buy a new desktop?!?!

    No, you could upgrade the operating system on your computer to 64 bits (depending on the computer's specs, I suspect some computers cannot be upgraded to 64 bit operating system). Or you could buy a whole new computer.
