Seeing all these positive experiences makes me want to upgrade, so I might just do it on the computer we just use to watch TV with, no complicated programs for it deal with, just in case!

I just carefully re-read this thread and cannot find any reference to compatibility (or not) of WIN 10 with older, 32-bit, versions of PSE.
Has anyone tried?
Also, I have done a small amount of googling this issue, mostly with regard to the 32-bit version of CS5, which is where I run all my older plugins. The only statements found on a couple of sites said something like "anything that runs on WIN 7 also runs on WIN 10". Found nothing specific anywhere I looked, and I doubt that this is true.

I've just upgraded my wife's small laptop to Win 10. Took a couple of hours though as it is rather under powered. I didn't, wait for a message from Microsoft to say I could go ahead and download. I used the link posted by Sepiana to bypass that system and did it manually.
All appears to be working ok
At first glance it does seem a lot more user friendly than Win 8. (I'm a mac user myself so I'm no Windows expert)!

Rita Rita,
I don't believe there will be a compatibility issue concerning 32-bit applications and Windows 10 64-bit. As a rule of thumb, 32-bit apps will run on a 64-bit OS. They just run as 32-bit apps (with their RAM limitations). Many Elements users have older 32-bit versions of Elements (going back to at least version 2) installed on a 64-bit OS. They run just fine.
As to PS CS5 -- I believe this program's installer file is designed to install both the 32-bit and the 64-bit version. If you are using a 64-bit OS, you will get . . .
32-bit version -- installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5
64-bit version -- installed in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5
Some reports of Elements not working properly when installed on Windows 10 are beginning to pop up in the Adobe Photoshop Elements forum. It is hard to say, though, if the problem is with Elements itself or with the results of the upgrading -- video card drivers, etc.

And here is the official word out from Adobe.
Windows 10 compatibility statement and FAQ

Sepiana,
I use both versions of CS5 on WIN 7, although I actually use 32-bit more because of the many plugins.
I also hope, of course, that this will work in WIN 10. The thing that bothers me is that absolutely nobody has said, "I know it works, because I am using an old 32-bit version of (any) Photoshop Program".
Since my above post I found an oblique reference to the x86 Program file in WIN 10. If it's there everything should be OK.
The Windows 10 compatibility statement and FAQ you linked, confines itself to PSE13 only. To me that means nothing else has been officially tested and probably never will be.

Thanks Larry & Sepiana. Your comments and the two inks were helpful. I installed Win 10 an hour ago and so far, so good, plus it saved my photos, music, and documents.  Glad to hear it went well. Please post back how it is working, as I know other forum members are thinking about whether to make the leap. I'm probably the least tech-savvy person on this forum and this is my second day after upgrading to Win 10 on my (previously) Win. 8.1 PC with no real problems to report thus far. Both my PSE8 and PSE 13 are working fine with it, but I don't use any 32 or 64 bit plugins, at least as far as I know. But as I said, I'm not much of a geek so maybe some plugins came with PSE8 or 13? I like Win 10's layout much better than Win. 8, but still liked Win. 7 best of all. I did not choose 10's "express settings" when they offered that option during set-up because I had read Win. 10 was quite intrusive (can you say snoopy?), so I chose the "custom" settings and only checked the box that said something like "auto-notify Microsoft if an error msg. comes up", etc. Hopefully I made the right choice by doing that? I'm still not sure what that "Microsoft Edge" icon sitting in the task tray is for, other than to use it like Google, to search for things. Anyone know? At first I couldn't see how to sign out of 10 so Googled the question and discovered that you can either press control>alt>delete>sign out, or click on the start/windows icon and then on your name in the subsequent menu. |

Perhaps I have been lucky as I have not had a single issue since I upgraded - touch wood!

I just upgraded to Windows 10 and am happy about some things, not so happy with others - particularly the way my email looks, acts and does not synch properly with my webmail. I used to be able to see thumbnail images of my camera files when I was moving or deleting files from/to my camera. I remember I had to install a viewer of some sort to do this, but can't remember what the piece of code was called. Does anyone remember, and if so, will it work under Windows 10, or do I need something else? (In this image you can see the way the older files showed an image in the thumbnail, but not the newer images....)  |

Do you remember using a specific piece of software to view the RAW files? Was it Fast Picture Viewer? There was a reference on another site to issues with that software and Windows 10- it needed to be uninstalled then reinstalled.

That does sound familiar. I'll give it a try. Thanks!
