Specs on what I bought...

Yup, got all of that and it makes sense. I just wanted to keep my trusty CS6. My other worry is that I didn't go with the 32gb, 1tb laptop because I wasn't going to run CC on it. Do you think I'll be ok if all I'm using is PS (no lightroom, no other programs)?? Hope I didn't screw up that part...

Looks like I'm going to be forced to upgrade... Got the software downloaded, but it is telling me the serial number isn't valid. I've gone round and round all day with this. Raising my white flag. ?️

Alright, everything I already expected. I already read on Adobe forums that Adobe is not handing it out easily... Crossing fingers I can find the setup.exe in my downloads...

Brian, OK, not sure if this is going to be a dumb question... Got my new laptop, got my calibrator...but can't get CS6 onto my laptop. It was a digital download from Amazon and the download is no longer available. I have my serial number, but can't seem to find a place to download the software. I have had my old computer for 10 years (CS6 for 7 years), so its been awhile since I've needed to do any downloading. My (could be dumb) question... is there a way to get it off of my old computer and onto this one? Since it was a download, do I have the install software that I would need on that computer So I could just save that on an external and transfer it over? I tried doing a search in my files, but if I'm being honest I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for. I really really didn't want to have to upgrade to CC and pay a subscription. I'm used to my CS6 and I do not like change! HELP! Please tell me it is possible?

This battery is replaceable? I was thinking integrated meant built-in... can't replace? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Unless I'm looking at a different set of specs?

Good call on the battery! Thanks.

Oh man, here I've been focusing on the RAM, & HD specs and didn't notice screen type. Doh! Yes, photo editing will happen, screen matters. So, thank you for that! But, now I'm doubting a laptop all together. I know desktop is preferred, due to inconsistent lighting when editing on laptop, but I was looking at convenience of editing on the go. Only 3-5 years though? Ugh. To click "buy" or not? More thinking today... Thank you for your wealth of knowledge! I'm glad I started a new thread, even with the others that are out there.

I've been reading the posts re: specs for laptop & desktop recommendations. I came across this particular message and it has me second guessing what I've been considering. I'm still using CS6. Can I step down a notch or two on the XPS series if I'm not using CC? I was looking at this... https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/black-friday-deals/new-xps-15-laptop/spd/xps-15-7590-laptop/xnber5cr649ps But I would love to save a little if I can. (Wavering between the laptop and desktop... current desktop is almost 10 years old, need to upgrade so I can get going on Damien's classes without using a dinosaur)
