Reinstalling Photoshop 7

I need to reinstall Photoshop (PS) 7 on my Windows 10 PC.  It was working fine but I had to "restart" the hard drive with Microsoft help, to eliminate a trojan (low level format).  I had to install PS7 in this PC when it was new about 18 months ago.  I know that Adobe no longer supports PS7 but one of the Adobe agents gave me a link to their website where I could still download it; does anyone know that resource and the link?

Do you mean Photoshop version 7 (shipped 2002)?

Or it's little cousin Photoshop Elements 7 (shipped 2008)?

Elements 7 for Windows can be downloaded here

Download Photoshop Elements 13, 12, and earlier versions.

Hi John.  Its Photoshop 7 part No 28101613 which is 2002 on the box. I had it running on Windows 10 Pro for about 18 months before I had to wipe the drive.

Afraid there is definitely no download link for such an ancient version.

Do you have the disk?

Yes I have the disk and I did download what I thought was PS7 from a link given to me, I assume I was given it  because I was not able to use the installation disk as I don't have the disk for PS5 that it was an upgrade from. Maybe what I downloaded was a variation of PS7 or version that had a similar functionality?  Do you know of any other free download, not a trial, that works like PS7?

You don't need the PS5 disc to install the upgrade.  Just enter your PS5 serial number during the installation from your PS7 disc when prompted for it.

Hi,

Unfortunately I don't have the box either. I think I would have registered both versions of Photoshop with Adobe, but it seems that they don't have any registration records that long ago.

According to your first post, you re-installed Photoshop 7 18 months ago using a link provided to you by an Adobe agent. Suggest you find that link and see if it still works.

I've never seen a download link for Photoshop 7 anywhere online. It's such an ancient version.

Hi John,

I have been rooting through my old emails and it seems that the link that I was given was actually to download CS6 and not PS7; CS6 did work under Windows 10.  I understand that CS6 is no longer available from Adobe.  I guess I have 2 alternatives: buy a serial number for PS5 (which my PS7 was upgraded from) and use it to install PS7 from the disc that I have, or give in and subscribe to the basic package of Adobe CC.

Adobe doesn't sell that any longer.

...or download the trial of Photoshop Elements 2018 and see if that will work for you.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your thoughts.  I have looked at PS Elements in the past and found it to be too basic and the cost of the 2018 version is almost as much as a year of PS CC, so as I am running a trial PS CC which works fine, I will probably sign up to that.
