Elements - move to new PC - two versions of elements

Report · May 09, 2023

So I have Elements in two old versions, 12 and 15.
Got a new PC with Windows 11.

Got adviced that not install eather version because compability.
But I did anyway, and after a few tricks with 12 , I have both installed.

Now the question is about the procedure of restoring the backups from the old PCs.

I have made backups on both that I saved on an extarnal drive.

Is it just as simple as go to Organizer, anf hit "Restore Catalog", then point to the backup om my external drive? I will get both my images and catalogue imported ?

Should I use Orignal or New path?

Can any problems occur because I have two versions of Elements?

Go here where it covers the various possibilties: https://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/mac-app-store/backup-restore-catalogs.html

You can have two versions of Premiere Elements on your computer. They will function independently. But, they CAN'T share a catalog. Each version has it's own catalog system.
