I am currently running on Vista Prof.

getting new PC with windows 8.1 with a free upgrade to Windows 10 later in the summer.

Can I install my current Premiere Pro CS5 on Win 8.1 and will it later run under Windows 10?

Correct answer AdobeHasIssues

I realize this is VERY old but since I am running CS5.5 on Windows 10, I thought I'd chime in for others who are against subscription based apps. I'm a novice and will NEVER pay for Premiere subscriptions. I paid through the nose for CS5.5 already.

I did a Windows 7 Pro (in place) upgrade to Windows 10 a few years ago and Adobe CS5.5 works. My MB is an ASUS P6T from 2012-ish, Intel XEON X5675 overclocked to 4.3GHz, 16GB ram, and nVidia 3090. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's very laggy. All dirvers are updated but the hardware is very old except for the 3090 which is an awesome Gcard. CS5.5 ran very fast on Windows 7 and never lagged. It used to crash after the file size increased unless I turned of the header icons. Windows 10 doesn't crash with them turned on, But... If you zoom into the timeline past the last 3 notches, you can't stop playback. It will keep playing until the end of the sequence or you kill the app. God help you if you're at the beginning of a long sequence and haven't saved in a while. Your choice is to kill it and lose new work or let it play to the end and save your work.

Two ideas that MAY work to install and/or run old programs in Windows 10 or Windows 11
-RIGHT click the program icon or EXE and select a compatibility mode in the pop up option window
-and/or select Run as Administrator to assign FULL Windows permissions

Thanks for that stream of information you generated.I'm a very small fish in these waters, and struggling to get back to working with CS5 after a long spell away because of poor health. At least for now, I know to avoid adding confusion the confusion and hurdles that moving to Windows 10 would generate. I've learned (in a fuzzy way) a lot from all the posts that followed. Thanks.

Thank you everyone for all your responses. I have Windows 7 on a laptop which is truly a workhorse, and everyone has been after me to upgrade it to Window 10, but after reading all these replies and the fact the the pro does not funcation properly, I think I will stay with 7. I would rather not go into the cloud yet for my Adboe needs, and for all my other needs I have an Lenovo desktop.

Well, I just tried to install CS5 Production Premium to a new Windows 10 machine........no it does not work, at least for me. Goes through the unzip process then goes right back to the first screen of the unzip process again. I thought maybe it was just leaving that screen up, but there are no unzipped files anywhere. I tried using the Windows 10 application compatibility tool, but that did the exact same thing. Not sure what is actually going on and I am not very familiar with Win 10 so don't even know what to try.

I've just been attempting to install The Premiere Pro CS5 package on a new laptop that has the Windows 10 trial version.

Overall, I like most of what I've seen so far of the Win 10 interface and functions (except Control Panel.) and it has no issue with games I've installed. However, when I loaded the two discs with CS5, everything appears to be installed EXCEPT Premiere Pro. I can find and open Encoder, Bridge, Encore, etc. but NO Premiere. I've made several attempts, but have had no luck. I cannot guarantee that this is due to a failure with Win 10, but I've successfully installed these same discs on a Win 7 computer (and yes, before uninstalling I did un-register and delete the serial # on that computer.) To add to my suspicions that Win 10 (or some related drivers) may be the issue, I also could not install two other creative programs from Serif that - prior to this - I've never had a problem installing. I'll keep digging for answers and post if I find something interesting.

Having used every operating system since MS-DOS, I fell in love with Windows 7, proclaiming it their best EVER... and use it at work every day with CS6. I have hope for 10, but as others here in the forum have cautioned, it may be best to wait a bit. I'm seriously thinking of UP/Downgrading back to 7.

Note: I will eventually be using CC, but I needed to produce a small project at home already had CS5. I also wanted to see how my new laptop could handle the software.

I am curious to know if Premiere Pro eventually worked on Windows 10. Were you successful?

Unfortunately, no. I was really hoping that the recent rev. upgrade to Build 10162 would help, and I tried to reinstall Premiere Pro again. No luck. Although, like I mentioned, it successfully loaded everything else, which I still think is weird and makes me suspect something else is going on here. Have you had a similar experience? I'm not giving up on the mission just yet.

The only other thing worth mentioning is that I've really grown fond of Windows 10. OK, so far it's been fantastic and I have no intention of down-grading back to 7. I am still bummed that my expensive CS5 suite is not working (software that would completely fill my needs right now) but in the end, I am almost resigned to the fact that, ultimately, I'll be forced to float up to the "Cloud" where Adobe really wants me. I guess there are worse outcomes.
