| Adobe Photoshop 7.0 |
Individuals who purchased Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for their personal computers (PCs) when Adobe first released the new software could run Windows operating systems released since Windows 98. The OS on which they could install Photoshop 7.0 included Windows 98 and Windows 98 Special Edition as well as Windows Millennium Edition and Windows XP. Network administrators could install Adobe Photoshop on Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0.
At the time of Photoshop 7.0's release, Microsoft had recently released Windows XP; since then, the company has produced Windows Vista and Windows 7. Users who have Vista must install Service Pack 2. As of September 2010, Microsoft has not made a compatibility patch for Windows 7.
Users who bought Photoshop 7.0 for a Mac needed to run Mac OS 9.1, 9.2 or Mac OS X version 10.1.3. Since the release of version 7.0, Apple has produced Mac OS X 10.6. The Snow Leopard Wiki website reports that Photoshop 7.0 will crash during startup on that operating system.

Users who bought Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for a PC needed at least an Intel Pentium class III processor to run the software.
