We install Bridge CC using the Creative Cloud app. Bridge is still included with every Creative Cloud subscription, but even if you've installed Photoshop CC, Bridge CC needs to be installed separately.
But now that Adobe has switched everything over to the Creative Cloud, that's no longer the case. In Photoshop CS6 and earlier, Adobe Bridge installed automatically with Photoshop.

Instead, we'll look at the essential features you need to know about so you can say goodbye to your operating system's file browser and start opening your images from Bridge! In this tutorial, we won't cover every single feature of Adobe Bridge. But Bridge is still an incredibly powerful and useful program that makes finding our images and opening them into Photoshop both easy and intuitive. It may not share the same image organizing and editing capabilities as Adobe Lightroom (in fact, Bridge has no image editing features at all). Bridge is essentially a file browser, similar to your operating system's file browser, but with a lot more features. Many people don't realize that Photoshop includes a free companion program known as Adobe Bridge. But while that's great for opening images, it still doesn't help us find the images we need. We did learn how to set Photoshop as our default image editor. That's because the Start workspace still forces us to use our computer's operating system to navigate through our files. But while the Start workspace makes it easy to choose images from a list of recently-opened files, it isn't very helpful when it comes to finding and opening new images. or in other words just realize you're not going to get top performance out of it.In the previous tutorial, we learned how to open images from within Photoshop itself using the new Start workspace in Photoshop CC. and be careful of the pixel size of the images that you're editing on it. try to keep your undo levels down to a minimum. Using it online or machine like this a few things that you need to do is make sure you have plenty of space on an SSD for virtual memory and a scratch disk. it's fine for making some changes to some flyers and that kind of thing but I definitely wouldn't want to be using it professionally for photographs if I had a lot of them to work on. using it is fine but The more intensive and operation is the more you notice it. using the older machine you can tell that it's working. With that said I also have a desktop that I built with an intel I9 10900k and the difference is quite remarkable. when I bought this thing several years ago it was a $2,000 machine and I would prefer to make it last as long as possible lol. doing that brought me on par with a lot of newer machines that friends and family have.
the big difference was swapping the Silly 5400 rpm HDD for a Samsung SSD. I upgraded to 16GB RAM about 6 months ago and it didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference.
it's a tablet pc (convertible or whatever current marketing term is).
