Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows 7 to Windows 8 upgrade

Hi,
I have Photoshop Elements 10 installed on a PC running Windows 7.
I have registered to receive the Windows 8 upgrade later this month.
Does anyone know whether I should uninstall or deregister PE10 before upgrading the OS, and then reinstall or reregister PE10?
Or is Win8 likely to upgrade the PC, and PE10 will continue to operate satisfactorily afterwards.
Thanks

Hi,
The recommended solution is to first deactivate PSE (from Editor), uninstall it. Now upgrade your PC with Windows8 and then install PSE again and register it again.

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

    my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

    Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
    Stephylei you will want to download the Mac versions of the installation files.  If you purchased the software from Adobe, and choose the download option at the time of purchase, then the download will be available under your account.  You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

    can't reload Photoshop elements 7 on my windows 7 operating system. Everything goes well and it appears to be installing. All of the sudden the Installer starts to roll back everything and error message shows up saying I can't use this product at this time.

    How do I do that? I'm the only user on the laptop - I kind of assumed I already was running the install as the admin.

    i cant install photoshop elements 1.0 in windows 8.1.Keep asking for internet explorer 4.I use compatibility windos 98/me and wont work either.

    of course, elements 1 was not designed to be compatible with win 8.1 and it seems likely ms didn't design win 8.1 to be compatible with software that old.
    you can upgrade to the current pse 12, http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements/buying-guide.displayTab3.html

  • What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

    What versions of Photoshop Elements are compatible with Windows 8?

    Microsoft advises that all versions of PSE except versions 1, 3, 5 & 6 will work with Windows 8. The best option is a new computer with W8 and then do a clean install of Elements. Some difficulties may arise if upgrading the operating system on top of existing software. In those circumstances make sure you have your original disks or your download package, in case a re-install is necessary.

  • Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna

    PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.

  • Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting

    Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting.  Has to be shut down by Task Manger.  Task Manger shows that it is still using some CPU.  Ran Procmon (part of Sysinternals) which shows that it is in a loop.   Stack trace shows it is executing code in AMTValidateProductLicense.dll.  Started happening about a month after I installed PSE.  Everything used to work fine at first.  Have tried going back to an old image of Win 8.1 on a different hard drive, otherwise same computer, and installed PSE 13 from DVD.  That installation never worked, it aways hangs.  If I do a clean boot, it sometimes runs long enough for me to click on a menu item and then hangs the same way.  And, yes I bought a new DVD to run on this computer, never been used in any other way.  Any ideas how I can get PSE running properly?

    It really doesn't look like a licensing issue, it seems to be code in the area of license validation that isn't working.
    I took your suggestion and initiated a couple of chat sessions with support, but so far still no luck.  The latest session with Neeraj seemed to be promising.  After some investigation he asked to reinstall.  First he uninstalled with Revo Uninstall, which seemed to be pretty thorough.  That required a restart, so he set things up to restore his conference session and took my phone number.  Unfortunately I guess his connection didn't come back.  When I didn't hear from him after a couple of hours I tried installing Photoshop and Premiere myself.  As before, Premiere works and Photoshop doesn't.  When I start Photoshop, the window opens and for a couple of seconds menus open when I click on them.  Then the window freezes and I have to use Task Manager to kill it.  So basically, I've tried several things but I'm back where I've been all along, I can't get Photoshop to work.  I'd really appreciate suggestions about something else to try.
    I wish someone at Adobe was interested in the Process Monitor traces I've made, because I'm sure someone who knows the code would be able to figure out pretty quickly what's happening.  Is it trying to read a file that's not there, failing to write a file, failing to make an internet connection or what?  It really shouldn't be this hard to figure out.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatability with windows 8?

    Hi, Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere elements 11 if I have windows 8? i.e. is Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatabile with windows 8?

    PSE 11 and Windows 8 and/or Outlook 2013 have several reported bugs.  For example Outlook 2013 and PSE 11 are incompatible because all features (for example Photomail) do not work.  Adobe will not support Outlook for email.  The user community is unsure of whether it is an Outlook or Windows compatibility problem - but it something!

  • Photoshop Elements 4.0 to Windows 7 conversion

    I would like to know if it is posssible to run Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 on Windows 7. It ran on Vista just fine but won't run on my new Windows 7 operating system. If a patch or other method is available, please pass it along.

    You could try to run it in compatibility mode/ XP emulation. Beyond that I don't think youz will have much luck. It's simply too old and even if it would run, the compatibility issues with your system's drivers and security mechanisms will get on your nerves...

  • Is Photoshop Elements 10 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    I am about to download/install Photoshop Elements 10 onto my Windows 8.1 system and I don't know if it will work.

    I am using PSE10, and 11 on Windows 8.1 and as far as I can see, both
    are running without any problems what so ever.
    I expect to buy PSE13 soon when Amazon starts its Christmas Sale!!! in
    United Kingdom which I will use on Windows 8.1 (primarily) and Windows 7.
    Hope this helps.

    is Photoshop element 10 compatible with windows 8 

    As per the below article it is Not. However, i don't think you might face any issues if you do so. I would ask you to try installing PSE 10 on your Win 8 and check.

  • Installing photoshop elements 10 on a windows vista machine

    Should I install photoshop elements 10 on a windows vista machine in the "Program Files" or "Program Files (x86)" folder.  I am running 64 bit on the machine.  Thanks for the help

    It depends on which version of Windows Vista you have.  Program Files (x86) is designed for 32-bit applications and Program Files is for 64-bit when using a 64-bit OS.  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/programs-files-vs-program -files-x86/7d631676-e688-472a-a1bb-eefccfeca6d7
