of Adobe CC apps, and CC services will continue to function on the old OSses.

Thanks for the information.

I must admit to finding it very surprising (from a programming point of
view) that some releases of Windows-10 are not supported. Of course,
there are new functions on the newer versions, but almost all other
software will run quite happily on anything from Window-7 upwards.
These new functions tend to be very minor, and not enhancing the basic
functions of the OS. It make me wonder whether the reason could simply
be to reduce support calls and the cost of support.

There are ways of making programs believe they are running under
different Windows versions - perhaps someone will make a shell which
provides that for this Adobe software? Having said that, anyone on 8.1
should have updated to 10, and there's no (or very, very little) reason
why anyone running 10 should not now be on the 1803 (March 2018) version.

Doubtless software from other companies will not similarly penalise
their users.
