You are confused. There is no online version of Premier. The desktop download versions are Deluxe, Premier and Home & Business. For online the versions are Free Edition, Deluxe or Premium. The one closest to Premier would be Premium.
Do you fully understand the difference between using desktop and online? You need Windows 11 or a Mac that meets the system requirements to use desktop download. Does your computer meet the system requirements?
