Was it CS6 or earlier, it may not have been a licensed copy?

Ok, it doesn't say you had Photoshop, but Photoshop Elements, a different app. Important difference. Apps need to be reinstalled sometimes, it's normal, and you should expect the PC supplier to give you what you need. If they didn't, contact them.
