Can I switch from XP to Vista to extend protection for my PC beyond April?
Ends support for Windows XP in April 2014. Is it possible to upgrade my PC from XP to Vista (rather than Windows 7 or 8), in order to extend the life of my machine? I don't think that my PC could not support Windows 7 and in any case, I have to do a clean install and lose all my programs. I don't want to buy a new machine, but as Windows 7 seems to have a limited life span and I hate Windows 8. I'll wait for Windows 9. If I upgrade to Vista, where I'd get the installation disk of? And no idea when will end in support of Vista?
Hello

How can I switch from elements 5 (Spanish) to 10 items for example?
I have Photoshop Elements 5 (Spanish) and I want to upgrade to a newer version, which is compatible with win 7 Home Premium. Maybe Photoshop Elements 8, 9 or 10, I am not interested to the most recent, primarily the oldest only compatible with win 7 Home.
It is a question, the following is I don't you any upgrade of the reduction to normal 775 crowns price, why?
I saw on your Web site, an upgrade would have cost 637,50 DKR, but when I click on 'buy now' I just get the page, where the price is 775 crowns. I AM enrolled in Adobe with my elements 5 AND I had also recorded in it, then why in heavens name I do not get an upgrade with DKR 637,50? In addition, on this page, it was only about 14 items, and I want that all! Maybe Photoshop Elements 8, 9 or 10 if it is compatible with Win 7 Home. Give me a link where I can download or purchase the dvd with Photoshop Elements 8, 9 or 10 in Spanish and WITH upgrade of reduction ok?

Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?
Original title: improvement of the operating system.
Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?
Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price. You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.
Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them. See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

Can I switch from Acrobat Pro 11 DC Pro?
Can I switch from Acrobat Pro 11 DC Pro?
Hey marcp30425730,
If you are using a subscription cloud creative or Acrobat XI, then you will get a free update to Acrobat DC.
You can install and activate the subscription DC Acrobat on your machine using the same Adobe ID credentials.
On the other hand, if you have Acrobat Pro XI, you can not use the same serial key to activate Acrobat DC.
You must purchase a separate license for the DC version, but you will qualify for a reduced price when you purchase the perpetual license.
Hope this information helps you. Let me know if you have other queries.
I would definitely you help.
Kind regards
Ana Maria

I bought Adobe Elements with my camera. Can I switch to Lightroom with some type of credit for the purchase, I already have?
I don't think that there is any such path upgrade to Lightroom. Lightroom can work with Photoshop Elements or Photoshop as a complementary product to improve and provide features that are not possible in Lightroom itself. For example, with Lightroom, it is extremely difficult if not impossible to remove unwanted objects from an image. Or, there may be sometimes a few necessary dusting that Lightroom cannot do just effectively on its own. If Lightroom offers an easy way to move from Photoshop or Photoshop Elements image in order to more easily accomplish some of these specialized tasks.
