I have an old windows 7 service pack II computer, i7, 3 TB hard drive.  Been running photoshop cc $9.99 a month on it since beginning.  Today it quit and I am suspecting Adobe will not be allowing photoshop to run on windows 7 any more.

Any way to keep windows 7 and still run photoshop cc? 

Any help appreciated.

According to the Adobe website as of October 2021, the system requirements for Photoshop CC are:
Windows 10 64-bit (version 1909) or later

Time to upgrade.  If you Google hard enough, you might be able to find a way to upgrade for free legitimately as the links for the free upgrade from back when they were doing that were still active as of a few months ago, just not advertised or linked to from the Microsoft website.

Thanks for the replies, guys. Looks like I have to switch to Windows 10 to use Photoshop.

A similar thing just happened to my iMac 2010. Could not update the operating system any more as far as I can tell. Thus, no current browsers will load, so no more internet access.
