When you purchase Photoshop and/or Premiere Elements 10 as a boxed product, you get a fair number of disks. The main reason for this is that a boxed product purchase of Elements is dual platform, that is, it's for both Windows and Macintosh.
When dealing with a Photoshop and Premiere Elements combo purchase, you get 5 disks. Here is what they all do:
- Disk 1 = Installs the 32-bit version of Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows
- Disk 2 = Windows 7 64-bit installer (skip Disk 1 if this is your OS). Installs the 64-bit version of Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10 (32-bit)
- Disk 3 = Installs Premiere Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements 10 on Mac
- Disk 4 = Installs Premiere Elemenst Content (DVD themes, menus, titles, etc.) for Windows
- Disk 5 = Installs Premiere Elemenst Content (DVD themes, menus, titles, etc.) for Mac

- Disk 2 = Installs a trial 64-bit version of Premiere Elements 10 for 64-bit versions of Windows 7
