A question about how to install an older version of Photoshop on a mac from 2011

New Here ,

Hi,

 

I have a question regarding installing Photoshop and Lightroom on my old imac from 2011.

Today I have upgraded my Creative Cloud subscription from Illustrator only to a whole list including Photoshop and Lightroom. I know I should upgrade my PC, but don't have the finances yet because I made alot of investments in art supplies. So now I'm running into this problem that I don't know how to get Photoshop and Lightroom on my PC.

 

Illustrator is running by the way with some prodesigntools-software that the help center guys from Adobe helped me with to install a couple of months ago. I don't know if I'm asking too much from my machine (and from you) to find a workaround to install Photoshop and Lightroom aswell on this imac 2011. Or that I rather should find a way to buy a new PC.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Pablo

I've done well with this Retina 2015 15" MBP.  Good price on it for a 2 TB drive and Monterey OS. Plan on not being able to upgrade PS in about two years, but being able to run a updated CC is a treat for the price.

Thank you gener7,  I'm considering to buy a MBP. Two years sounds like just enough time to save up for a new PC and having a updated CC would be the best way to go.

I should mention this MBP has 16 GB ram and a 2TB SSD for $400.

I've contacted the seller on Ebay and he doesn't ship outside the US.

Quote:

 

"Due to company policy, we are not allowed to ship it outside of the USA. However, you can use a freight forwarder to have your Ebay purchase shipped to the adress in the USA. The freight forwarder will handle the shipping to/from USA to your adress."

 

So I'm looking for a freight forwarder now that ships to the Netherlands (I'm from Europe).

Buying a new Mac is the best way, but you can also try installing macOS Monterey using "OpenCore Legacy Patcher". This method costs nothing.
However, it may be difficult to use if the iMac has poor hardware such as lack of memory.
Also, "OpenCore Legacy Patcher" is unofficial software, so you need to deal with problems yourself.

Thank you silk-m,  I'm now looking into YT videos on how I would install this Open Core Legacy Patcher. I'm a bit affraid that it will not work and I could lose alot of data. I have 8 gigs of RAM but no SSD. I could buy some extra to have 16 max.
