Is there ANY form of PhotoShop software that I can buy/download onto my Windows Vista Home Premium computer?

I am well aware adobe does not usually support Vista.  However, I need PhotoShop to continue my work off campus while on an internship.  I honestly don't care if it's CC or elements, but I need some program that lets me edit photos.  I don't want to jump the gun though and buy some CD or download software that ends up not compatible.  I apologize if this is an odd request.  If someone asks me why I still have Vista, the answer is basically this:
1) This is a 5-6 year old computer and that's the program it came with at the time (and that I'm used to)
2) As a university student, my biggest fear of switching over to Windows 7 or 8 is that they are not "user friendly" as some people have put (again, student here so the LAST thing I want is to not be able to find all my documents again...my Dad is currently having this problem with Windows 8)
3) I'm not too keen on upgrading to Windows 7 or 8 UNLESS it's a last resort AND I don't have to copy everything on my computer onto a hard-drive and then move it back over after upgrading (I'm not that tech savy so I'm afraid I will mess something up)
I apologize again if this sounds strange or anxious of me, but I really would like to continue helping the faculty at my school buy working on this project (they're already dealing with issues of setting up the MAC there to work with the new website).  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

If you don't mind Photoshop Elements, here are Adobe's Vista notes.
Photoshop Elements compatibility with Windows Vista
Photoshop CS6 is the current product, and here are the notes on Vista support.

  • Is there any anti virus application/software that i can download for ipad2?

    do i need to download/buy an anti virus protection for my ipad 2? if so,, any suggestions? tried looking for avg but it doesnt have a scanner all they have is net protection for adult websites (kinda sorta like that). thanks

    You don't need it. There are no viruses or malware for stock iOS devices, and therefore no anti-virus.
    Only if you have purposefully removed the security features Apple builds in to its devices would you be at risk.

    You need a PDF editor, at the high end use Adobe's Acrobat Professional, at the low end use the editing features in Preview (pre-loaded on your iMac). However you should probably look at the Mac App Store, you will find many of PDF editing applications. You simply need to find one that suits your needs.

  • I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

    I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    'With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.'
    It costs $24.99 p.a.. Songs you've ripped from your CDs which are also in the Store will be recognized (hopefully) and be available: if they aren't in the Store you can uploads them. The limit is 25,000 songs (purchases do not count towards this limit). This is not part of the 5GB free storage.
    Incidentally, just to clarify the terminology so you don't get into confusion, you don't mean 'burn' (make a CD from existing files) you mean 'rip' (copy files from a CD onto your computer).

  • Im planning to upgrade my MBP late 2011's ram from 4gb to 8gb. Is there any specific brand of ram that i should buy or i can buy any brand that suits my MBP.

    im planning to upgrade my MBP late 2011's ram from 4gb to 8gb. Is there any specific brand of ram that i should buy or i can buy any brand that suits my MBP? im aware of all the details that i need to consider pc3 - 10600 1333MHz 4gb. i just want to know is there any specific brand or i can use any brand,
    Thank you.

    The most reliable sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.  Macs seem to be selective with RAM so some brands will not work. Make certain that you get RAM with the exact specifications that apply to your MBP.
    Ciao.
    If you have a need, be advised that you MBP can actually support 16 GB RAM.

  • I can't synchronize my iPod's with my iTunes software (Windows Vista Home Premium) due to problems with the access authorization / rights for this operation

    Hi there,
    I'd like to ask you something:
    I'm trying to synchronize all my iPod's (I have as many as 4 iPods: 2 iPod touch a 8 GB each and 2 iPod classic a 160 GB each) with my iTunes software (Version 11.3.1 which is installed on a Windows PC (Windows Vista Home Premium)). Unfortunately, the iTunes software refuses to run the command "synchronize with the iPod connected" regarding each and every iPod I have. iTunes just declares:
    Synchronizing is impossible because I wouldn't hold the access authorization / rights for this operation.
    I uploaded the songs at issue to my iTunes folder from CD's (all songs are in AAC format now).
    What is this access authorization, why was something like that invented and what can I do to get it?
    How do I have to proceed in detail?
    What would it cost?
    I am brand new here and have never ever made a post in any support community anywhere in the world in my life. Well, and I am not excessively knowledgeable about the particular computer or mac language but I know the very basics or can find out about them.
    Anyways - can you help me please?
    If you can't help me, who can do so?
    It would be nice if you could answer me as soon as possible!
    Thank you guys

    Yes, others have experienced the problem, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that and the simple solution.
    Termporarily disable any security software on the computer.

  • Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on Windows Vista Home Premium

    Today, I tried to install Photoshop 7.0 on my laptop with vista home premium. When Photoshop was almost installed, the setup said he was ready but the setup screen didn't went away. I closed the screen.
    when I tried to open Photoshop then, the program starts normal but before you can do something there's a report saying: 'couldn't execute your request because of missing or invalid personalisation-information' (this is not perfect because I tried to translate it from dutch)
    So, the program doesn't start. After this, I tried to remove Photoshop from the laptop but he says there's a log error and they can't remove Photoshop.
    I have consequently a program that doesn't work and that I can't remove.
    Is there a solution?
    When I installed Photoshop I used another name than the name of the computer, maybe vista doesn't accept this? Normally, you can do that, but I didn't do something like that on vista. If that's the problem, how can you change that name if the program doesn't start normally?
    thanks

  • I have windows vista home premium phot shop elements 6 recent repairs deleted program and even with now I can not even find a p. elements that can be used with w.vista..... HELP

    Any ideas??? Have windows vista home premuim and can not find a phot shop that will work with it.

    You can download a free trial version for PSE 10, 11 or 12 from this link:
    <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    You can use this trial version for 30 days after which you will need to buy a boxed version from Amazon and use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version.
    If, however, you complete your project in the next 30 days then you don't need to buy anything.  Money saved for something else.
    Good luck.

  • Is there a way to do a complete PC restore for windows vista home premium?

    I have a pavilion dv6871us with windows vista 32 bit with vista home premium.  I have lost my wireless adapter and nothing I have tried works to get it back. I've tried restoring my system back to another date and that will not work. I was going to do a complete pc restore but read that vista home premium does not have that included. Is there any way I can restore my laptop back to factory defaults?

    Hi:

  • Which version of PhotoShop Elements should I buy for Windows Vista Home Premium and from what source?

    First time buying PhotoShop.  I need it for a project I'm involved with at my school, but I can't download Creative Cloud or PhotoShop Elements 13 because Vista is not supported by Adobe.  However, I find it easier to find a version more fit for my computer rather than upgrade it (I'll just be brief, it's not convenient AT THIS TIME for me to attempt to upgrade my PC, even if many believe it'd be better for me).
    I was just planning on looking on Amazon for PhotoShop Elements PC boxes available and going with whatever version 11 or below that was at a good price.  Is this a good way to go or is there something special about purchasing CD's to download I need to be aware of?  Is buying from a source like Amazon rather than straight from Adobe putting me at risk for a phony version of PhotoShop Elements (though I was looking to buy a "new" box to avoid this if I can find some)?
    I'm having trouble finding WHERE Adobe sells its products from its own website rather than Creative Cloud right now.  A link would very much be appreciated if such a place exists.  Thank you.

    You can download a free trial version for PSE 10, 11 or 12 from this link:
    <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
    You can use this trial version for 30 days after which you will need to buy a boxed version from Amazon and use the serial number from the box to activate your trial version.

  • I need help i have just bought snow leopard for my mac reading that it can be downloaded onto a 10.4.11 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo but it says i dont have enough ram space how can i solve this?

    i need some help i have just got the Mac OS X as i have recently been given a mac with 1.83 GHz Intel core 2 duo and on 10.4.11. However it says i dont have enough ram how can i solve this?

    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
    Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find. Patriot is another brand recommended by ASC contributors but I have no experience with them.
    Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
    Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales.
