Photoshop 6 won't run on Windows 10 on new computer

While CS6 may report its running on Windows 8 not Windows 10. I find CS6 runs on windows 10 better than Photoshop 2020 21.2.2 which has Pen support issues. Be sure all Cs6 Updates and ACR 91.1 are installed and that Windows and your device drivers are up to date. You need to Configure Windows, Pen Support and Photoshop to work together. Here Is what my Windows 10, CS6 and Pen setting are.

I Did not have to use any Windows 10 compatibility options to get CS6 to run. It runs fine. However, on my Machine with my High resolution 4K display that has a 185PPI resolution I would need to force Windows 10 Display scaling onto Photoshop CS6. If I wanted to use Photoshop UI on the 4k Display. So I keep Photoshop UI on my 100PPI displays and Edit Images in floating windows on the 4k Display. The only Photoshop UI elements on the display are the Image window frame information and image rulers.

My computer is not the newest tech still it ramming the latest Windows 10 and CS6 runs great.
