I’m moving from Elements to the Ps (+Lr) subscription.
I notice that it came with 2 versions of Lr. What’s the difference between them?

Lr Classic is the "old" Lr; you do all your processing locally.
Lr is what used to be called Lr Mobile; you can do all your processing on almost any device, but it has less functionality than Lr Classic.
Thanks, Peter! Very useful explanation!
Just a few differences I found. Lightroom Mobile does not include the bundle. Import functionality acts a little differently. Mobile includes a lot more cloud storage (I think it's 20g vs 2g). I know a functionality that I frequently use is not in Mobile--brushes. I took advantage of the one-week free trial before deciding that the Mobile version was not for me--because of the way I do post-processing.
Please google "Lightroom Queen". She has a complete answer to your question. Have fun . . . . Chief Rob

Personally, I use LR Classic for everything off of my cameras.. the ONLY thing I use the "new" Lightroom for is my Cell Phone (or tablet) photos. It is more of a "blanket" fix rather than a spot fix.
My wife loves the "new" Lightroom because she shoots a lot of impromptu shots with her cell (and unfortunately sends me copies of everything :( ) It does a good job for blanket fixes but (because it uses your fingers for adjustments) doesn't do spot fixes as well as the Classic (in my opinion).
Personally, I feel that both are good for their intentions.. LR Classic is full control and detail oriented.. New LR is more blanket fix and great for impromptu fixes or camera/phone, tablet photos... Don't get me wrong, you can always send your camera phone pics to your desktop and work the pictures or you can work your DX/FX photos in the New Lightroom... you just don't have the control in the new version... it works great for impromptu fixes on the phone though.
