Will Photoshop Elements 11 run on Windows 11

[tony0778]

I'm getting back into photography after a hiatus of several years.  I'm still using Lightroom 6 and would like to use Elements 11 which was previously on a Windows 7 PC.  I've notices several posts that indicated potential problems with windows 11.

I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts, experience, and opinions whether Elements 11 will run successfully on a laptop with Windows 11.

Thanks and I hope you have a good week!

@tony0778 try posting your query on the Photoshop Elements forum

Will do! I should have looked before posting.

It should.

Did you deactivate it from the W7 computer?

Is it activated on any other computers?

[tony0778]

I haven't deactivated from the old PC as of yet.  My concern is that loading PSE11 onto the Windows 11 PC may cause it to freeze (lockup).  I read somewhere that the individual had to reload windows. I don't want to be that guy......

Thanks for responding.

I can't see how installing PSE 11 can create a need to reinstall the operating system.

Perhaps that person loaded a pirated copy with malware.

No, it was PSE 9. My question is -- how much more recent a version must I buy to have confidence it'll harmonize with Windows 11? Would PSE 11 be enough? I just rebel against buying a three-year version from Adobe. And, luckily (or credit to me for thinking of having numerous restore points), I didn't have to acually reset the computer (although that happened before with another piece of software that worked fine with Windows 10!).

9 is still working fine on the Windows 10 laptop -- I was just looking for the least expensive (and hopefully totally mine) newer one I could confidently buy to install on the W11 machine. But use of restore points saved me from having to do a full reset -- after the restart, I found myself in the "Repairing Windows" process. I just had to get to the final screen in the troubleshooting process.

Dipping my oar in the water, I just bought a new computer with Windiws 11. I had some problems so started creating restore points regularly. when I installed Photoshop Elements 9, which ran just fine on my Windows 10 laptop. But when I installed it in the new machine, it prevented restart -- I had to restore to the point prior to this installation. Tried it again to verify -- same. So that's another piece of software made useless by Microsoft!
