Can Premiere Elements 15 open Premiere Elements 11?

[scallage]

My Premiere Elements 11 used to work fine under Win 8.1.  After the OS upgrade to Win 10 it crashes the OS (Blue Screen) randomly.  The memory dump analyzer (MS WinDbg) reports pre11 is in violation of memory access.

I have a lot of .Perl 11 projects, and I want to make sure that I can open them with Elements 15 before I buy it.

Thanks,

You definitely can not open a version 11 project with version 15, if that's what you're asking.'

Have you tried running version 11 in Windows 7 Compatibilty Mode?

Steve,

Thank you for the verification.  I know how to run the Win 10 Explorer in older version mode, but I have no idea how to run app in such fashion.  Can you shed some lite on that?

Thanks,

Have a look here:

Windows 10 compatibility mode

Steve,

The link is not going anywhere.  However, thanks for the clue anyway, cause I found how to run/test an app in Win 10 compatibility mode.  I just have to use Pre 11 for the next couple of weeks (think that's long enough) to confirm as to whether the MS Compatibility Troubleshooter fixed the issue or not.  Either way, you've confirmed that Pre 15 won't be able to open Pre 11 projects.

Many thanks for your time,
