Question

Do I upgrade my OSX

I have an iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.4 which I bought in 2013. I have various programs on it including Photoshop CS6 ver 13.05 x64. with Camera Raw ver 8.1.0.43. Bridge came with this, ver 5.0.2.4 and Camera Raw 8.1.0.43. I bought the disk, not a download. I also have Lightroom 5 ver 5.0 64bit. Camera Raw ver 8.1. This was downloaded. I later got a disk.

Does PSCS6 run on High Sierra now without issues If I upgraded from Mountain Lion?

Does the most recent version of Adobe CC subscription including Lightroom Classic and Photoshop have Bridge? 

Can I use PSCS6 and LR6.14 together on Mountain Lion 10.8.4? I would have to either upgrade to LR6.14 or buy and install it. I usually just download my raw images from External HD into PS, I do not use Edit in from LR. I'm not counting out that sometime, after editing in LR I would want to edit in Photoshop though. I'm sorry, I can't get this together without re-asking questions. I've tried to find these things on web and here, and I have found some things, but I still can not find above 100%. Thank You for any help, 

Thank You,

Sandy

    yes, you should update your OS to get all of the security patches you should have. If you are using that computer for banking and entering personal data you open yourself to having information stolen if you are running an old OS.

    With that said.

    You need to look at the version of software you have and its requirements. CS6 asks for minimum 10.6 /10.7

    Adobe Creative Suite 6 system requirements

    Mountain Lion is 10.8

    Yes, if you turn the newest OS on old software you will have issues.

    So this is s crossroad, deal with issues of old software with a new OS, or having an old OS and old software that in both cases are not supported.

    I strongly advice to keeping a secure computer over saving a few dollars. Because i better pay for CC subscription than paying $500 because somebody has your computer up for ransom.

      I am, and never have been, connected to the Internet with this computer.  It only sees the Internet when I must download or have issues, and that has been maybe, 3 times.  I do not do any banking or have any personal data on my computer.  Yes you are right though, about upgrading my Operating System and programs.  Why I'm here asking these questions.  I'm right now doing research on just what has to be updated with what and how to do it since I have not updated my OSX for so long.  What is Adobe Creative Suite 6?  Isn't it now Creative Cloud?

    first see if that machine can even take a new OS. what is the processor speed and ram? otherwise it will just slow down to a point where you will be frustrated with how slow things move.

    CS6 is available for download via the CC subscription. and you will also have access to all other softwares versions. so you can match what your system can take.

    here is high sierra OS requirements:

    and here is cs 6 :
