Nov 19, 2017 at 4:46 comment added jones0610 No worries. LR6 is just about at end of life anyway, although with the free RAW converter I am in no super panic to move to something new. I will likely go with Capture One Pro when release 11 comes out. I went from LR3 to LR6 so no experience with LR5. It should run on most any Win machine though... although perhaps not XP. You can do basic editing with RAW Therapee and all of the other free stuff that's out there. If you are serious about post processing you may find free software to be lacking.

Nov 18, 2017 at 15:12 comment added Stuart Aken Thanks for this. I'm aware of the change in licensing of Lightroom. I installed the stand alone version of Lightroom 6 only to discover it completely froze my system. Had to uninstal it and ask for a refund! I know there's no support for version 5, but it seems to work, so I've had a look at the free software and will download that and trial it soon.
Nov 18, 2017 at 1:48 comment added jones0610 You should probably be aware that Adobe is retiring the perpetual license Lightroom product. If you plan to continue using LR you would need to go to the subscription model. Since you are still on LR5 I'm assuming that you are not overly committed to LR and may not care to pay a monthly fee to keep using it. You can, of course, use the free Adobe RAW converter and thus extend the usability of your copy of LR5 more or less indefinitely. You might also consider moving to something like Raw Therapee which is free, fully supported and runs on most platforms.
