I installed Elements 13 without problems and have many third party plugins such as Nik software and OnOne which worked in Elements 10. Is there a way of getting these plugins into Elements 13 without having to re-install all the plugins? I already tried to copy the plugins from Elements 10 plugin folder to Elements 13 without any luck. In the plugin preferences I pointed to the directory and that didn't solve the issue.

Yes, someone advised me to uninstall Elements 13 and reinstall it.

Elements 10 is a 32-bit application; Elements 13 is a 64-bit application. When you installed the Nik and the onOne plug-ins in Elements 10, they got installed as 32-bit plug-ins. Consequently, you cannot copy/paste them from Elements 10 into Elements 13. You need to run the installers again. Then, the 64-bit version of these plug-ins will get installed in Elements 13.

Makes sense, thank you.

Try under edit: preferences; plugins; choose.

PLEASE, PEOPLE, PLEASE! PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!!!

The OP was using the Nik and the onOne plug-ins in Elements 10. Elements 10 is a 32-bit application. On the other hand, Elements 13 is a 64-bit application. When he installed the Nik and the onOne plug-ins in Elements 10, they got installed as 32-bit plug-ins. He needs to run the installers again. Then, the 64-bit version of these plug-ins will get installed in Elements 13. These installers are designed to install both versions (32-bit and 64-bit) of these plug-ins accordingly.
