My son tells me I need to replace my 5-year-old PC which is using Windows 10. If I buy a new desk top PC will I be able to re-install LTR with the disk from my original purchase which I still have? It just says “Lightroom 5” so I guess it isn’t 5.6. If I can install it on my new computer will Adobe then allow me to update it to the 5.6 version, or will I fall back to what I suppose is the 5.0 version on the disk?
Same question for Photoshop: using the CD I have will I be able to install Photoshop CS5 on my new computer, and if there are any updates will I be able to incorporate them and update the software to whatever is now available? (Mine says “Version 12.0.4x64”.)
I know there are advantages to the new CC version but I don't like paying a monthly fee and my current LTR and PS have been doing everything I need. That's my main reason for delaying buying a new PC. And I need to keep everything simple.
