How to find Premiere working with Windows 7

Unfortunately, you MUST upgrade to Wiundows 10 before you can run any currently up toi date programs:

1. Microsoft's support for Windows 7 has now completely ended back on January 13. That means any newly discovered security holes in Windows 7 will remain permanently unpatched. And antivirus companies will completely cease supporting Windows 7 eventually.
2. Windows 7 cannot utilize anywhere near the full capabilities of newer PCs (for example, any USB 3.2 ports may get capped to USB 2.0 levels of performance). In fact, newer PCs now require Windows 10 (as far as Windows is concerned) just to even run at all.

And Adobe, in this situation, had absolutely no choice whatsoever but to follow Microsoft's lead. That means that all new versions of its software will now officially support only those CPU platforms that were introduced during the Windows 10 era. It will no longer support those CPU platforms that were in existence prior to the advent of Windows 10. And Adobe had removed all versions of Premiere Pro that were compatible with older platforms and OSes in large part due to the limited-term licenses that third-party plugin companies impose on any "rental" software such as Premier Pro CC or later. All of those third-party companies that make the plugins that provide much of the functionality of those older versions of Premiere Pro strongly favor extremely-high-priced perpetual licenses over lower-cost rental licenses.
