How to install CS6 to Windows 10 laptop, from DVD?

Hello.  I have been using Photoshop SC6 (an actual disk) which was a gift from my Son, in 2012. I have a HP Pavilion g6 laptop, Windows 7, x64.

 

I'm thinking about purchasing a new HP laptop with Windows 10, very soon.  I'd like to know how to install my CS6 to the Win 10 laptop, before I make the purchase.  I've been looking in the main Adobe page but I got no info at all.

 

I would really appreciate the infomation.  Thank you!

    "Would it be possible to use one of those transfer cables? "

    Transfer cables might be OK for moving image files from one PC to another but they won't help you with software.  You really need to run the Windows 10 installation routine to effectively write data to high system registry files.  Otherwise, your software will never activate or work properly.  And the first time you launch your software, use right-click and select Run as Administrator.

     

    If you don't want to buy an external optical reader, ask a friend or family member with a reader to copy the installation disk to a USB flash drive for you.

     

    Install CS6 BEFORE the updates.

    Once Installed and activeted you need to downloads  the CS6 Updates and ACR 91.1. anf install them.  CS6  is very unstable without the updates..

    Photoshop Windows updates 

    Windows ACR 9.1.1

    Thank you, JJMack, I appreciate the info.  Actually I do not use the Raw part of Photoshop, Ever, I prefer to just leave/use the pictures I have in my laptop - it's much easier for me. 

     

    Thank you for the Photoshop Updates link.   I have the original 2012 CS6 version, I believe is 13.0.

     

    So, should I download the next one or the latest one? 0.1.1, or 0.1.2, or 0.1.3?  And, should I do that now before I actually install the CS6 on a new Win10 laptop?

     

    Do you think I must download that ACR? Those kinds of things really scare me!

    If you have an old Camera that CS6 ACR opens you do not need  9.1.1  all that ACR 9.1.1 does for CS6 is support some newer cameras the new feature in ACR 9  are disabled for CS6 users by Adobe.  You do need to update CS6 13.0 to 13.0.1.3

      Thank you for the link, Nancy.  Do you suggest that I get an external DVD/CD drive to install PS CS6?

      1. Insert disk in the optical reader tray.

      2. Run the installers.

      3. When prompted, enter your serial number.

      Thank you for the quick answer, Nancy, my apologies for the lateness in coming back here.

       

      Would it be possible to use one of those transfer cables?  That's how I transferred everything from my Vista laptop to the HP Win7 I have now - it worked like a charm!
