I HATE 2020 and want to install my 2019 on my new PC. Can I do this? i.e. take the program files from one PC and install them on the other?

Thanks

UPDATE: I was able to down the zip file via Nancy's link.

Windows Explorer to open and move the files to a NEW folder on desktop.

Double click the setup file and it ran and installed.

Deleted the 2021 photoshop and turned off updates

All good.

Have you worked it out? It's driving me bonkers why it deleted my 2019 CC without asking and updated to the 2021. So many features that don't work the same and messing up my processing, will add hours on 😞 Beyond frustrated and need it sorted ASAP.

Change your Creative Cloud Desktop Preferences.

Click your avatar (image) > Preferences > Apps

Turn off Auto-update. See screenshots.

When you manually upgrade, there is an option to Remove Old Versions if you check the box. Remove the checkmark to keep old versions.

The problem is that I'm installing on new computer. So that option is not showing.

I normally keep older versions, that's why it was on the list. I didn't know they only go one version back now. That said, I hope Nancy's advice works for you.

I do too, Gene.

You need the actual installers not program files from another computer.

Now that Adobe has a restricted version policy (current + one previous), it's becomming much harder to find older versions. Is there some reason you cannot use the latest October release (ver 22.0)?

Unfortunatley for some reason, I can't work out that link above, it keeps sending me through to different pages when I click on the 2019, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong 😞 Thank you so much for helping, i'm so under the pump
