Photoshop 6.2/photoshop CC question

So my dad has PS 6.2 on his PC and i am taking a photography class this summer. I was wonder a couple things:

1. How hard is to to move PS 6.2 from my dads computer to mine (i assume it is limited to 1 PC) Simply phone call?
1a. Can i install 6.2 from my dads disk and get a 30 day full trial? (is it full access or limited)
2. is photoshop CC 30 day trial full PS or limited? I'll just use PS CC for 30 days if its full access.

Basically with what i have access to i want the easiest/cheapest option. My laptop is much faster then my dads old i3 desktop (first gen i think). Also much faster then the school's imacs. I am also probably going to buy a 2560x1440 screen since that is what the school uses...just missed the latest slick deals on it :/ 333 or something :'( I want a 4k screen but must wait...way two much).

The other question is how does the history work? I have a 3920xm 7970m 16GB of ram in my laptop. Plus a decent SSD. I wanted to know how i can shove everything in GPU RAM and PC RAM with as many points back as possible. So i don't have to mess with using my SSD. I assume i have plenty of VRAM/RAM to hold 1-2, 20-24 mega-pixel pictures with a crap more then 20 backs. Also any other advice on making it run faster by changing settings would be nice. I rather not work at school on these photo edits unless i have to. I'll also finally have to calibrate my screens :/

Thanks,
HF

 

The 30day trial is full access.

I wouldn't really brother about wearing the SSD out ~ but you can make a ramdisk as scratch disk if you have to.

imdisk is free and do everything other commercial one does.

I never toke photography class before, but I think you are taking it too serious XD. (calibrating screen and such)

 

The thing is we have to print out photographs for grades so we have to have accurate colors for the epson 4900 or whatever.

So PS doesn't fill up ram before scratch disk? That doesn't make sense to me.

is this it?

I wouldn't use a 4k screen. Photoshop doesn't have hi dpi support yet.

Also if your dad has creative cloud, it supports two installs but you can only use one at a time.

he has 6.2 which is why i asked how hard is it to move it from one PC to another? A simple phone call to get a new key like windows? If CC trial is full blown for 30 days i ,ight just use that for 30 days since my class is only 2 months and it'll cover almost all of it.

how does DPI support matter? 39 in 4k screen is huge I am not talking about a 4k 24 in screen rofl

 

No experience with the non-cloud CS 6, sorry.

AFAIK, most members on this forum don't have access to external 4k screens, so sorry for the assumption. My 15.6" screen is 3200x1800 so I've been paying a lot of attention to threads about hidpi support for smaller screens so you can understand my mistake.
