Concern about buying Creative Cloud over space, speed, and smooth function doubts

[BrookstonAbbey]

Can anyone bring assurances that my PC can handle a subscription to the Creative Cloud?  I want to use Premier, AfterEffects, DreamWeaver, PhotoShop, and whatever the audio recording and editing software is called, and many more.  Is space or speed an issue?  Does one store all on the cloud or can one also keep work on external drives?  Can anyone put me at ease about hang-up-free functionality?  I don't want to obligate myself to a sizable subscription cost and face user logistics problems.  Who can help?.

Your files are stored locally with an option for online backup. It is recommended to work from multiple, fast, internal hard drives, but some situations will allow working from fast external drives.

You need to connect to the internet periodically to verify subscription status and download updates.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Video Hardware forum.

You will need much more RAM.

That processor is too weak for Premiere Pro and After Effects.

They may install, but you would not be happy with the performance if they did.
