Should I download or buy a disc?

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I think the elements disc I have is the very first elements -1. I have managed to make it work through 3 or 4 computer. My last had windows 7 and I could use it by running it as administrator. As you can tell I do not like change! Well, I was just forced into windows 10 with my new computer and I can't even get my old elements disc to run in it.

Going to the Adobe site I guess elements 15 costs $99 or cheaper if I can get it as an "upgrade". On ebay I can get a disc for $50. On amazon I can get a download for $40.

I will probably want to put this on my desktop and my laptop and figure that will be easier with a disc.What about support etc. Will that be different depending on where I buy from?

I am going to start with a free trail just to see if I can even figure out how to use 15. I sure hate change!

I suggest buy from Amazon because it is price competitive.

You can download a free trial version from Adobe website from this link:

<Download Photoshop Elements | 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10 >

You can also create your own DVD with these official downloads and keep it safe for future use.  Amazon will give you a serial number  and you need to enter this in your trial version to activate it.  There is no need to install anything when you have already installed a trial version.

Hope this helps.

If I buy from Amazon ad get that serial number can I put it in my trial version on the pc then also download the trial to my laptop and put it in there?

Make sure that it is a license, too, and not just a disc.  And make sure it's from an authorized reseller.  There are some counterfeits out there.
