"This computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run Lightroom CC"
Could someone enlighten me on this!
It's Adobe's really confusing product naming that is to blame.
The real Lightroom, the successor to "Lightroom 5 as v5.7" is now called "Lightroom Classic CC". This is the program you would want to use, it should work on WIndows 7, and its current version is 7.3.
The so-called "Lightroom CC" is a completely new application which will not run on Windows 7. It is a cloud-dependent app similar to Lightroom Mobile and stores originals in the cloud, and it has fewer features or much-simplified ones than real Lightroom. Even if you wanted to do so, you won't be able to run "Lightroom CC" on Windows 7.
