Hi there,

I have an laptop, the specs are as below:

Laptop Brand: HP EliteBook 840 G3

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6300U CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.50 GHz
Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.88 GB usable)
Device ID BB47EFB7-174B-4A1C-A37F-9658FDD2B15A
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Operating System: Windows 11 Pro, 22H2

Graphics: Intel HD Graphcis 520

So have I able to run Adobe Photoshop 2024 (latest version) OR Adobe Photoshop 2023 (Latest Version) ??

If not both possible then which Adobe Photoshop, highest I can run on my laptop?

Regards,

Windows

The short answer is...no. You may get it to install and open, but it will be a frustrating experience.

The integrated Intel GPU will probably put a stop to proceedings right from the start. It's well below current requirements. You really need something better, like a discrete Nvidia RTX 3050 or 4050 and upwards.

The 8 GB of RAM will be used up just by Windows and Photoshop in idle state. There won't be anything left for actual work. And to make matters worse, an integrated GPU uses system memory, which you're already short on.

Today 16 GB RAM should be considered minimum, and if you have some sort of integrated GPU that should be increased to 32 GB.

Be careful where you get them! The internet is flooded with pirated copies. Most of them contain malware, and then you quickly get into bigger problems.

Noted with thanks, I really appriciate your kind cooperation and help for taking the time to sort my issue out!
