How to move to Photoshop Elements and new computer

Hi, I've been using Photoshop Elements for several years, but am new to the forum. I recently got a new Windows 7 computer and moved all my files, including photos, using a Windows 7 migration cable. I was using Photoshop Elements 6 on my old Windows XP computer and want to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 8 on the new computer. How do I get my catalog into PE8? Based on what I'm seeing in the posts on this forum, I'm thinking that I've gone about this the wrong way. It looks like maybe I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8. Does this make sense, or can someone suggest a better way to do this? Thanks for your help.

I should delete my photo files from the new computer, then install PE8 on the old computer, do a backup in PE8, and restore the backup on the new computer in PE8.
That is definitely the most reliable method. You're changing three things at once: new computer, new version of Windows, new version of PSE. The catalog conversion process (upgrading to a new version of PSE) and backup/restore are both fairly buggy, so it's wise to do one step at a time to make troubleshooting and workarounds much easier. It's also better to use the most recent (less buggy) PSE 8 to make the backup, rather than PSE 6.
People are tempted to take a shortcut on this and try to use PSE 8 on the new computer from a PSE 6 backup. That will often work, but when it doesn't, they then waste a lot more time trying to make it work. As the Car Talk Guys used to say, "It's the cheapskate who pays the most."
See this FAQ for tips on converting from PSE 6 to 8:

Hi
Ok, how do you deactivate Photoshop in old computer?
Is it possible then to read in Photoshop with license code in to the new computer?
Is it so that when you have deactivated photoshop in old computer with internet access, it is possible to read in it on the new computer with internet access cause adobe then can see that Photoshop is not installed anywhere else?

How do I activate Photoshop on my new computer?

How do I activate Photoshop on my new computer?

( sorry to be taking so long to reply: I've got small grandchildren
bedding down on the floor of my study for their visit with us..so I have
limited access to my computer..)
Yes,
I've tried to download that version, but the installation date given for
the program shown on my computer indicates it is the old version, which
I had used for making chapter illustrations I needed a few months ago
(under the 30 day grace period for updating what I hadn't realized was
an old program). That is also the one that stated when I tried to open
it that the serial number was incorrect (taken from the WIN CS2 line on
the table in the provided Adobe). Is it possible that I need to
uninstall my original CS2 version (which I had downloaded from the disk
seven or so years ago)? Is that program preventing the "upgrade"
("retrograde"?) from the website?
Later- I have also just discovered a charm for additional Photoshop
program labeled "Adobe Image Ready CS2" on my start window. It appears
to function like the original CS2. Is that the non-activation version
you mention and that I had indeed downloaded this CS2 version? If so,
that's it. If so also, should I delete the original CS2 program or is it
needed for the Image Ready CS2 version to properly function?
Thanks.

How Can I move my Photoshop into a new computer?

My laptop broke down. I downloaded my Photoshop from web. How can I move my Photoshop into my new laptop? I have an electronic receipt and my serial number.

Thanks for asking this, it will be great reference.
I am curious though, because I know photoshop CC has a 2 computer installation limit. If my first computer broke down before I can attempt to deinstall photoshop and install it in a new computer, does that mean I have lost 1 installation limit for photoshop?

How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

Hi
I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata. In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40). Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility. I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore? Isn't this a bug???
I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
but no such file appaers to exist. In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(
