Can I Install Photoshop CC?

[Michael5CC7]

I have a high spec HP laptop using Core i-7 Intel UHD 620 1:80 GHZ

I want to use Photoshop CC for digital illustration with a WACOM tablet.

Is it possible or inadvisable to download Photoshop CC on to this computer? I am advised to have an AMD with nvidia graphics processor at at least 2:00 GHZ

I do not want to use animation but would like to take advantage of the full tools for digital drawing, painting and layering. I think I have the memory capacity.

Sounds OK, it's best to have a lot of RAM and spare disk capaicity.

Also try out Adobe Illustrator.

Hope so. I have 512 RAM and 8 GB SSD. I will ask about Adobe Illustrator.

Basically anyone else in the same shoes might say do it or don't. But thanks for your reply.

You might want to use the 7-day free trial to confirm it works for you before committing to an annual plan. Be sure to cancel if you need to. Here are the minimum system requirements:

Thank you,
7 day free trial is a good idea. But I also need the drawing tablet too. My
processor is a 1:80 Ghz and that is below minimum. Looks like I will have
to abandon my plan to take digital art or risk it. I am not going to spend
money on another computer. I will download the 7 day trial after reading
the small print of course.

The small print includes that it will roll into a subscription if you don't cancel, so be sure to cancel if it doesn't work.

It might be worth you also looking at Corel Painter, which might be more suitable for your illustration work:
