Does Adobe CC run on any laptop when downloaded? Unfortuantely no! Very old laptops and those with limited memory cannot support the large size of the Adobe apps. The following minimum specifications for personal computers (desktops and laptops) are recommended by Adobe:

• Operating system: Intel i7 processor macOS v10.13 or later
  or Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit) versions 1809 or 1903
• RAM: 8GB RAM for 2K/HD and 16GB RAM for 4K
• Graphics processor: 2GB of GPU VRAM
• Hard drive free space: 8GB
• Monitor resolution: 1280 x 800
• Internet connection

Tips for Success: If you are using a 91ÇàÇà²Ý lab computer, you will need to save your work to a thumb drive or external hard drive with roughly 128GB of storage.
