Bottom line: The only version of Lightroom Classic CC that is compatible with both Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 is Lightroom 7.0.1, which must be installed by direct download on the Windows 7 computer. This version does not support mobile syncing, but there is no way to update it to any other v7.x on the Windows 7 computer. Hi, I've had a long slow death roll event happening with my Lightroom Classic CC application. I'm running version 8.1 on a Windows 10 laptop. The actual program is running off the laptop C rive while the catalog and all it's folders (helper, previews, LrData etc.) are all stored on an external hard-drive.

Hi, I've had a long slow death roll event happening with my Lightroom Classic CC application.
I'm running version 8.1 on a Windows 10 laptop.
The actual program is running off the laptop Crive while the catalog and all it's folders (helper, previews, LrData etc.) are all stored on an external hard-drive.
Running Lightroom has become more and more difficult with various freezing issues, bugs as well as the main issue of the catalog not being able to be backed-up, each time a back-up is attempted the program freezes and eventually generates a crash report, on start-up next time an error message pops up 'Lightroom needs to restart etc etc.'
I want to uninstall my version of Lightroom Classic CC and download another version, navigate to my last saved back-up, which is now over a month old, and see if it resolves my multitude of issues.
I don't want to lose anything important so the question is, can I just delete/uninstall my lightroom folder off the Crive, leaving all the catalog folders on my external hard-drive and expect things to go smoothly?
Thanks
