If you have certain versions of Windows 10 (just typing it makes my stomach churn), then you have probably discovered that you can no longer install and use any of your favorite programs. I found this simple fix that may help in most cases: hitech-us.com/articles/entry/205/Cannot-install-programs-on-Windows-10I am thankful every day that I insisted on staying with Windows 7 and Elements 7. |

I have to take issue with sticking with Windows 7 and that article (which is now over 5 years old). Windows 10, certainly is 2022, is not "...probably the most troublesome operating system Microsoft has ever released...". I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, but Windows 10 is a very solid operating system.
Windows7 is out of date and insecure. I do IT for a living and getting rid of Windows 7 in favor of Windows 10 was a priority for me and for many companies. It is an unfortunate reality that many older versions of software programs won't run on the newer operating systems, but I understand why that is generally true.

BuckSkin , I am with Andy on this. I have had a home computer since 1984 (might have been 1983) and survived numerous iterations of MS-DOS and Windows. My bro was adamant about sticking with Win 7, but he and his wife both eventually went to Win 10. Although he has not said anything for a long time, at the start he was constantly going on about Win 10 behaving oddly. He has not said anything for months. I installed Win 10 on a pervious computer, and it was (what ?) seamless. Just sort of worked the way it was supposed to. I changed computers over 2 years ago and it came with Win 10 and I upgraded to Win 11 recently and, with one bothersome exception, it is just another operating system. Pretty much glitch free and plugs away doing what it is supposed to do. There is a workaround for the one exception that bugs me. Clive

BuckSkin, I also have Elements 7 (installed on two computers running Windows 10 Pro). There was no problem with the installation and the performance has been flawless. There is plenty of evidence that Elements versions as early as v2 will work on Windows 10. And, if there is any problem, Adobe has provisions in place to address it. As to what that article says, . . . . . . I fail to understand why such a statement. I have 19 Adobe apps installed on Windows 10. None of them were purchased from the Windows store but directly from Adobe.

I have had to do the workaround on several "Home" and other versions for friends and relatives. |
