Installing Elements 15 over Elements 7

[majilhaw]

I have PE 7 installed on my Windows 10 PC with over 8000 photos nicely tagged. I have just bought a new CD copy of PE15 and want to install this on my Desktop. I have read about compatability problems with regard to Catalogues and thumbnails and I am concerned in case if I just load the new CD to install my PE15 I might lose some of my existing Catalogue/Thumbnails/Tags. Can you advise me the best procedure to as it were upgrade my existing PE7  to PE15?

Hi majilhaw,

I'd recommend that you take a look at this article Common catalog upgrade issues in Elements Organizer before you install Elements 15.

As far the installation of the new version is concerned, you can install it as Photoshop Elements will upgrade your current catalog(a new copy) and will leave the current one intact.

Thanks,

Akash
