THIS IS NOT SOLVED. THE TITLE IS WRONG.

I know it's the error code for not having a machine fit for the minimum system requirements. But I DO exceed the minimum.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3,5 GHz

RAM: 16 GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB

I also have enough disk space. So what could be causing this? I still have my old CS6 installed by the way, could that be the reason? I just didn't want to lose my preferences, brushes on it if this new version fails me again (I keep having bugs that interfere with my workflow)

You may want to check your system setup: Error code 195 indicates that your device does not meet the minimum system requirements.

Sorry, installation failed Upgrade needed. You must upgrade/update your system to install the product. Please check the following: Creative Cloud Desktop version 5.2 or below is not supported (Error Code: 195)

Looking forward to hearing from you.

To be fair, you did not indicate where you were trying to install - just that you have enough disk space.

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3,5 GHz

RAM: 16 GB

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB

I also have enough disk space.

I've seen this error when users try to install on an internal partition or other drive than where the system is installed.

It is on a different drive. It doesn't feel good when you think you've finally gotten a reply that could be a fix, but turns out it's just asking you to repeat yourself the first two times. But whatever. Thanks anyway for taking your time.

So what you're trying to say is that the installation must be done on the same drive as the system is installed? If so, that'd be pretty inconvenient...

It also doesn't feel good when a person asking for help cops and attitude when we are trying to work through the issue with limited feedback.

You've always had to install Photoshop on the main HD with the system.

So my original assertion holds true - your targeted drive does not meet system requirements becuase it does not contain the system sofware directories required to install Photoshop resources.

Install PS on the main HD with the system software.
