The Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 app is now available from the Microsoft Store. Though you can download it easier now, the version you get from the Microsoft Store is a lighter version of the app which is more suitable for basic image editing.

Since Photoshop Elements 2021 has only recently become available from the Microsoft Store, you will need to be running on Windows 10 version 18362.295 or higher before you can use the app.

While this version from the Microsoft Store doesn’t have as many features, one advantage it does have is that you can install it on 10 PCs after the purchase whereas the previous feature-rich version only allows for the installation to be on 2 machines.
