  original title: moving from Linux to 7

  Hello

  Unfortunately, you cannot switch from Linux to windows operating system 7, but you can upgrade from Windows vista to Windows 7.

  Because you are unable to upgrade Linux, I suggest you perform a custom installation of Windows 7.

• I have Photoshop Elements 8.0 running on my desktop with Vista. I bought a laptop with windows 10 and you copied files photoshop overall, however, I get a message that has collapsed license for this product - error 6. How can I correct as I'm on the point

  I'm in Elements 8.0 on my desktop with Windows Vista — who purchased a laptop (Windows 10) now and copied the files across but get a message "the license for this product has stopped working - error 6'.

  How I get working again?

  Transfer from one machine to the other Adobe applications will not work.  You must install using the installation files and the serial number, you have the initial purchase.  It is possible that a program as old as PSE 8 won't install/work with a new operating system.

  PSE 7, 8, 9 - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-7-8-9-downloads.html

  You can also download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

• I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed. My plan is to install Win 7 and then move on to Win 10.

  Original title: Vista to Win 7 to win 10

  I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium installed.  My plan is to install Win 7 and then move on to Win 10.  I have a new full version of Windows 7 Pro SP1 with an activation key.  I have experience update to Win 10 of Win 7, but worry about the installation of Win 7 over Vista.  I guess I have to do a clean install.  There is no problem to meet the minimum requirements of 10.  Can someone give me some advice on the start-up of the conversion of Win 7?  Just insert the disk?  Everything has been backed up and it's ready to go!  Thank you.

  Since the family migration to Windows Vista Premium to Windows 7 Professional it will install a clean place, why not simply use your Windows 7 Professional product key to perform a custom Windows 10 Pro install from the go?

  I don't see the need to bother installing Windows 7 Professional.

  Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

  You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
  If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.

  I bet that if you check the size of the file that has been downloaded it will be probably very small, indicating that it was not downloaded correctly.

  I don't think you have another computer at hand, or a friend with a USB key which may be able to download and copy it for you?  Maybe burn it to a CD or something.

  I could download it and save it to my desktop so I am confident that it is not a problem with the link itself or the file is available for download with success.

  I know this isn't a very good suggestion, but the only other option would be to challenge support and see if a technician can take control of your machine and see if they can solve the problem of internet explore.
