Upgrading Photoshop Elements from 12 to 2023

I currently have Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows 10.  

I purchased a new computer with Windows 11.  Photoshop 12 will not install on windows 11 so I purchased Photoshop Elements 2023 and installed on the new laptop.

How do I move the catalogs/data from the old laptop? Do I have to upgrade on the old to 2023 before I do the backup and restore to move the catalogs to the new laptop?

Thanks

Hi Annette.  To answer your specific questions, there is no need to upgrade your old computer to Elements 2023 before restoring the catalog on the new computer.  When you restore the catalog on the new computer under Elements 2023, the catalog will be automatically converted to the new catalog format.  But be patient during the restoration as it can take a long time (depending on the size of your catalog).

Hi @Annette29700516q703 

 

Thanks for reaching out.

Photoshop Elements 12 was an old version of the software, so there is a high chance of having issues with the old catalog. You can try migrating your work to the latest version of the application that you have downloaded and installed.

Here are the steps: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html

 

Try these out, and let us know how it goes.

 

Best,
