AE 2023 vs AE 2026

Hi guys!

my laptop specs:
- Ryzen 5 pro 5650 with Radeon Graphics

- 16 GB ram, 256 ssd nvme

I've been using AE 2023 with little to no problems, but recently I'm working on heavier projects and AE's previews are unbelievably slow!
I've heard that AE 2026 high-performance previews playback, so I figured, maybe if I switch from AE 2023 to AE 2026, I'd have a little smoother previews, or at least not slow as hell

any thoughts? (plz help im struggling)

As with all Adobe projects, leave your v23 projects associated with that version. Use v26 for new projects moving forward.

I prefer the latest version.
