Upgrade PSE 10 on an iMac to PSE 15 on Windows

[Chremn]

Hi!

I have a PSE 10 installation on an iMac but I want to upgrade to PSE 15 and run that one on Windows 10.

As I´m using the catalog quite a lot I want to be sure if that works straight away or if there are any special things to do or think about.

Please advice!

Hi Christian,

You can buy the latest  PSE 15 from Picture editor software, photo enhancement tools | Adobe Photoshop Elements 15  as per your required OS.

To continue working with this same catalog on newer version, refer to  procedure mentioned here:

Move Elements Organizer catalog | Elements 6 or later . Please make sure to go through whole article before backing up and restoring your catalog.

Hope this is helpful. Get back to us in case you face any issues.

Thanks,

Arshla

You may find that the price of the full version is cheaper than an upgrade through black Friday (November 25). If you buy the boxed version from on-line sellers you get disks for both windows and Mac. You can still install from an Adobe download and simply validate with the  serial number from inside the box.

You should be able to do a full backup from within your iMac PSE 10, and then use the Restore command on your Windows PC. Assuming that you are backing up to an external drive, make sure that the drive is formatted such that it can be read by both computers. Once you have completed the restore process, make sure all of your tags etc are present.
