How to install Photoshop on Windows 10

[satimis]

Hi all,

OS Windows 10 Home

My PC is dual-boot, Windows 10 Home and Linux

"Adobe Photoshop 7.0.exe" is stored on a storage drive in ext4 format but without OS installed. Starting Windows I can connect to this drive but I couldn't start installation of Photoshop.

Please advice. Thanks

Regards

Hi,
To install Photoshop on your Windows 10 Home system, there are a few steps you can try:
1. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for running Photoshop. This includes having a compatible processor, sufficient RAM, and free disk space. You can find the detailed system requirements on the Adobe website.
2. Try running the Photoshop installer as an administrator. Right-click on the "Adobe Photoshop 7.0.exe" file and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. This can sometimes bypass any permission issues that might be preventing the installation.
3. If you're still unable to start the installation, it could be due to compatibility issues with the ext4 formatted drive. One solution is to copy the Photoshop installer to an NTFS formatted drive, such as your Windows system drive, and try running it from there.
4. Additionally, make sure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Install all the available updates and patches to ensure that you have the latest compatibility fixes.
5. If the above steps don't work, you might want to consider using a virtual machine to run Photoshop. You can install a virtual machine software, such as VirtualBox or VMware, and create a virtual environment with Windows installed. Then, you can install Photoshop within the virtual machine.
Remember to verify the compatibility of Photoshop 7.0 with Windows 10 Home before proceeding with the installation steps.
I hope these suggestions help you get Photoshop installed on your system. Let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

Hi,

To install Photoshop on your Windows 10 Home system, there are a few steps you can try:

Thanks for your advice.

This is an AMD 8-core PC with 32G RAM onboard and 1TB SSD for runnging Windows 10 Home and connected to 4K 32" Dell display. Storage drive 4TB

2. Try running the Photoshop installer as an administrator. Right-click on the "Adobe Photoshop 7.0.exe" file and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu. This can sometimes bypass any permission issues that might be preventing the installation.

I have tried but installation won't start. Windows 10 Home can connect the storage drive

3. If you're still unable to start the installation, it could be due to compatibility issues with the ext4 formatted drive. One solution is to copy the Photoshop installer to an NTFS formatted drive, such as your Windows system drive, and try running it from there.

4. Additionally, make sure that your Windows operating system is up to date. Install all the available updates and patches to ensure that you have the latest compatibility fixes.

I have copied Photoshop 7.0,exe from the storage drive to Windows 10 Home running Ubuntu 22.04 Linux. But I couldn't find it running Windows 10 Home

5. If the above steps don't work, you might want to consider using a virtual machine to run Photoshop. You can install a virtual machine software, such as VirtualBox or VMware, and create a virtual environment with Windows installed. Then, you can install Photoshop within the virtual machine.

I have Windows 10 Home running VirtualBox on Ubuntu 22.04 on another drive. But I expect running Photoshop on Windows 10 drive, bare-metal

Remember to verify the compatibility of Photoshop 7.0 with Windows 10 Home before proceeding with the installation steps.

I hope these suggestions help you get Photoshop installed on your system. Let me know if you have any further questions or issues.

Please advise how to verity the compatibility. Thanks
