Downloading PS for Win 8.1

[Alan98A7]

I am taking an old laptop with me when I travel. I was trying to load PS but the OS is Win 8.1 and the current PS is not compatble. However, I can't find the earlier versions of PS with the idea of loading an older version so I can edit whilst traveling. Any suggestions?

As far as i can tell, Photoshop CC 2018 (version 19.x) is the latest version that runs on Windows 8.1

You can download the installer from here:

Thanks. But when I click on the link on the page (which says it's for 2018)
I get sent to
https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog.html?clickref=1101lwQ7hikn&mv=affiliate&mv2=pz&as_camptype=&a...
and
when I click on PS I think it trys to upload the current version and I get
the Windows 10 required error.

You clicked on the download link for either photoshop cc 2018 64 bit or 32 bit?

(64 bit if your win 8.1 is 64 bit)

Hi I managed to find a table with a set of download links and loaded the
64bit PS2018 further down the web page. So I downloaded ok. But after
running the file to install it I now get a pop up saying "Adobe Application
Manager missing or damaged. I tried the web link provided in the
message but it looks like it's no longer active.

Most likely you need to install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application compatible

with Windows 8 from here under Windows | Alternative downloads.

Hi Jeff

When I do this and open the file I get creative cloud and I can see
Photoshop (19.0) which is great but when I click on open I still get Adobe
Application Manager, required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.

Try this Adobe Application Manager 10:

Hi Jeff

Thanks for all your help. I deleted everything including the App Manager
and downloaded a new PS 19.0 and AAM and I am in. 😀

Many thanks
Alan
