Windows 10: Installing Photoshop on Windows11

Hi,
I bought a Lenovo laptop with Windows11.
I installed Photoshop Elements 11 from an official disc with code.Everything seemed ok until I restarted the laptop and got a startup message saying laptop was doing an automatic repair.
Auto repair couldn't be done so I had to enter a bitlocker key then reset the laptop from scratch.
Why can't I install PS11?
Is it because it's an old version or simply that bitlocker won't accept it?
Thanks for any info . . .

 

Photoshop 5 worked a couple times in Windows 10

Hi Patricia,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand how it feels when things doesn't work as expected.

Method 1: I suggest you to reinstalling Adobe Photoshop 5 and check if it helps.

Method 2: If the issues persists, try to reinstall Adobe Photoshop in compatibility mode and check if it helps. This might have caused due to any compatibility issues.

Follow these steps for installing Photoshop in compatibility mode.

• Place the applications installation file on the Desktop.

• Right Click the applications installation file and select
  Properties/Compatibility Tab. Select the appropriate options from the list in the following image.

Hope this information helps. Please let us know if you need any other assistance with Windows in future. We will be happy to assist you.
