Interoperability retirement with Internet Explorer browser prior to IE 11, and for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0/1.1
To ensure the continued security of our customers and products, Adobe is retiring interoperability with Internet Explorer browsers prior to IE 11 and for Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0/1.1. These depreciations will provide additional security by ensuring all Adobe products and services only work with browsers that are receiving security patches from their vendors. Adobe uses encryption standards generally considered to provide strong privacy guarantees by the information security field.
On 14 July 2021, Windows 7 systems that do not have the following required updates installed will no longer be able to access Adobe products or services:
Internet Explorer 11
TLS 1.2 support
My older Internet use computer has had those updates (I think) and Photoshop still works on this system.
