My desktop computer, I will be honest, is well into it's dotage, and if it was human it would be lining up for a funeral plan. I had it made to my specification in, I think 2007 and gradually updated as and when things stopped working. Push has come to shove, with the latest PS updates not being downloaded completely so they don't work. PS still works with the last completed update from November 2024. All RAW updates still load satisfactorily. As far as I can see all the latest updates involve some AI or similar, which I have absolutely no interest what so ever.
So if I continue to use it as it is, what are the chances that eventually it will come to a point where it refuses to work with the 2024 version as well. My laptop is bang up to date and eats the latest PS updates for breakfast which is fine, but my printer is connected via my desktop to Canon via my modem, and the laptop is not set up the similarly. I am extremely reluctant to spend £600-£800 just so I will get updates which I will never use anyway.
Your thoughts please.
