Upgrade Photoshop Elements 14

[Johan16B8]

I am currently using Photoshop Elements (PSE) 14, for windows 10, and thinking upgrading it to PSE 21. Has someone experience with this, does it work?  What about my current organiser, will it stay intact?

Hi , I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Photoshop Elements forum where you are more likely to get help with your issue.

Upgrading an Elements version means installing a new, independent program beside the older one (which remains available).

When you install the new version, you are prompted to 'convert' your catalog to the new format of the catalog database. If you skip that option, you can 'convert' later, or convert other catalogs than the last one in use. Converting means reading the contents of your old catalog and entering it in the new one. Both catalogs are available in their respective program. The converted catalogs inherits the catalog (catalog folder) name of the old one, which is renamed with a " 1" suffix.
