How do I activate generative fill for my Photoshop? I use the select tool and there is no button saying 'Generative Fill.'

I saw from another post that I have to update my Date of Birth on my account in order for it to show because I'm over 18. The person who suggested it also said that if I signed in using social sign-in (like Apple, Facebook, Google), that I should set my DOB on those accounts to be public.

However, I don't really know what category my account falls into since it's a school Outlook email account. I've looked around trying to update my DOB (or set it to public) on my school Adobe account AND my school Outlook account, but have found no options to do so. What can I do?

@Thao31775686vnn2 your school may not allow AI and have disabled the feature or beta versions from the Admin side.

Hi @Thao31775686vnn2 Go to Photoshop Help Menu/System Info and copy/paste details in a reply. Post only once as the system takes time to process the large amount of data.

@John Ryan_9307 You need the latest beta or public release of Photoshop (25.x) to run generative fill. However your system is well below minimum system requirements and you won't be able to run recent versions on this machine. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html
