Which operating system on your i-Mac?  Is your computing using Apple Silicon M1 Chip?

 

You could possibly install a virtual machine (Parallels for example, extra fees apply) and then install Windows 10 on the virtual machine.  Now that's assuming you have access to a) Windows OS and b) a Windows version of PS Elements 2014.   Lots of IFS. 

 

It might be cheaper & better in the long run to just get new software that's compatible with your new computer.

Hope that helps.

you need a computer with an older os that supports 32 bit programs.

 

but your question actually makes little sense.  do you mean you have an older photoshop elements version?

Since you have a subscription, you can install the latest Photoshop 2023 instead.

That's technically impossible because Apple has long removed any support for these procedures.
