See

Photoshop system requirements

to verify if the OS meets the requirements without exceeding them.

You should also try installing the trial to make sure.

Edit:

Download Adobe Creative Suite 6 applications

But as Adobe does not sell Photoshop CS6 perpetual licenses anymore you should be very, very careful about purchasing one.

There is a distinct possibility that you might get ripped off.

Hello, thank you for you quick response, I saw a page from adobe that containing all of the CS6 Apps, I thought they are still selling adobe cs6 perpetual licenses, is there any way i can buy one legally? since I am still starting to learn photoshop I cant afford to buy the CC version.

Excuse me, but that doesn't make sense. You can afford $800-1000 (or whatever it was) up front - right now! - but you can''t afford $10 monthly? Have you done the math? Do you realize how long this will run before break even? That's 80 to 100 months, or at least seven years. And you get free upgrades as they come, and you get Lightroom thrown in.

I suppose there could be reasons for not wanting to subscribe, but money is most certainly not one of them.

actually I never thought that CS6 would be 800 dollars since it was already old, OMG. I though it would be around a hundred or 200 hundred dollards.

When a new version comes out, the old one isn't sold anymore. It doesn't get cheaper, it disappears.

Except the pirate copies.

Hi

You can no longer buy CS6. It was released in 2012 and was replaced by Photoshop CC. Photoshop CC is available on subscription only.

Don't be fooled by the many so called "genuine" copies available on internet auction sites. Hacked copies of Photoshop are common and, as well as not running correctly (if at all) - can bring malware with them.

The system requirements for Photoshop CC are here:

The only perpetual licence now sold is for Photoshop Elements. The system requirements are here:

yes dave, I saw some Adobe cs6 apps on ebay, and they are selling it in a very low price, and i know that those are cracked apps, and I am not and will not ever buy those, actually Im a GIMP user and now finally decided to fully adapt adobe photoshop.

Your laptop is entry level and wouldn't do much of a job of running any version of Photoshop. It should run, but slowly, perhaps painfully. However, the most important thing you haven't mentioned: the system. (I second the advice that, unless you're planning to buy CS6 from your most trusted friend who had it new and kept it in a cupboard, you will probably be ripped off).

The current Photoshop product is Creative Cloud at $10 a month. If this doesn't fit your budget, my advice is to look for another photo editor. Given your laptop specs, that might be wise anyway. If you're not a professional photographer/retoucher, consider Photoshop Elements, available with one time fee, but still a stretch for your laptop.

Just another question, if they are not selling perpetual licenses for cs6 products, why does the cs6 apps are still on their site? I am sorry If i have so many questions, I am still new to the Adobe ecosystem

Hi

They still give the ability to download the old version to those who bought a perpetual license when they were sold and may need to re-install.

Although several people have said $10 a month, that amount is for an annual subscription, paid monthly. A monthly plan that can be cancelled is $31.49.

And ask as many questions as you need to. It’s better to ask before purchasing than after. We have heard the stories from people who have bought the pirated versions. We know you are not considering this.

Hello Jane, I am aware of those pirated version coming from ebay, lazada (our local online store here in the Philippines), and I am not considering to buy those type of softwares, actually, I saved money for several months, and now it is in my hand, All i thought is that I can still buy cs6, I dream of it to install on my laptop, however i am not aware that they ceased the selling of perpetual license...

The reason why I like cs6, because of its infinite usage, I mean there is no reason to renew your subscription monthly or annually, I belong to the low class workers or minimum wage earners here, i earn 200 dollars (10000php in our currency)  monthly, but despite of that i was able to save money to buy cs6, actually using an outdated app is not an issue to me, Im not a professional photographer nor a graphic artist, I am just a simple guy who loves to edit and make some photo manipulation.

You may think that using an outdated app is no issue, but remember this doesn't just mean you don't get new headline features. You also get no support for new systems. If you choose to run old apps you will have to freeze your system, and at some time not buy new hardware too.
