Question

Older versions of Photoshop compatible with Windows 10 Pro 1511?

Hi all,

 

Long story short, my computer has run into some issues, and was only able to be fixed up by being set up to run on an older version of Windows 10. The earliest version it could be set up to was the Windows 10 Pro 1511, which is regretfully incompatible with the latest version of Photoshop (the one I have been subscribed to for the past 2 years).

 

I would like to instead purchase a license to an older version of Photoshop that IS compatible with the 1511. I have been unable to find which said versions are compatible with my computer's current Windows situation. 

 

Input would be SO appreciated! 

Thank you in advance.

The only version sold is Photoshop CC. The only supported versions of CC are v20 and v21 i.e. the current and previous version.

My version of PS 6.0 worked fine until the latest Windows 10 update. This is totally unacceptable! Call me a conspitacy theorist but I doubt this was an accident... more like a collusion between Adobe and Microsoft. Microsoft could easily create a "fix" for this problem and yet here we are having to BUY new software on a monthly basis to replace that which was purchased with a lifetime user agreement. Shame on all involved!

    Microsoft used to work hard to keep old apps working, but they seem to have lost interest in that. Of course, Adobe will be pleased too get you up to date, from $10 per month. Adobe will tell you that supporting an incompatible system is a NEW FEATURE, and for new features, you naturally have to pay.

    If you want to see really agressive forced upgrades, try Apple. If you'd been a Mac user, Photoshop 6.0 would have stopped working around 2001, CS2 around 2011, CS6 and CC up to 2018 around 2019. All today's Mac apps are scheduled for death around 2022.

    The problem is Adobe no longer markets old  perpetual Photoshop version. Adobe only market subscription for creative cloud products these days. You will find many scams and cracks on the web for old PS versions.
