I am on Windows 7 So which is the Most latest Version of Potoshop I can have ? I think Photoshop 2020 needs tohave Windows 10 so I cannot have it. But if not Photoshop 2020 which other Version will be compatible with Windows 7 ?

    Correct answer AxelMatt

    Yes, the version runs on Windows 7.
    But I would strongly advise against continuing to use Windows 7. As long as the computer is used without a connection to the Internet, there may be no problems.
    But since you want to install Photoshop CC, you absolutely need a connection to the Internet. Since there have been no updates and patches for Windows 7 for years, you are taking a very high risk.
    Therefore the urgent advice: before you think about Photoshop, switch your operating system to Windows 10.

      As Much I would have loved to upgrade to Windows 10 I simply cannot because of the Hardware Limitations of my Laptop which is a Intel Pentium Quad Core Processor @2.16 Ghz with only 4 GB RAM 


      With this hardware configuration, it doesn't make much sense to install Photoshop either. I'm sure Photoshop doesn't run properly. For the older versions the minimum requirement is only 2 GB of RAM, but 8 GB is recommended. The newer versions need at least 8 GB.
      In my opinion, you should first think about a more powerful computer and then think about Photoshop.

      My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI
