My father in law has Photoshop Elements 2021 installed on his Mac.

He upgraded to Mac OS Tahoe now he cannot use his Organizer and Editor anymore.

Since Photoshop Elements is not compatible with Mac OS Tahoe, this will not work.

I'd like to know the solution with the least of work ;-).

What are the best steps to solve this problem? Do I need to downgrade first Mac OS (and then upgrade to Photoshop Elements 2026) or will it also be possible to directly upgrade to Photoshop Elements 2026 (this last option would save me a lot of time to help him out...)?

His old version won't work on Tahoe.

Each installation is a brand new install- and leaves the old version alone.

Buy PSE 2026, and you will be good.

Will this new install be able to read the full "database" of photo's and all tags to find photo's?

If you mean old catalogues, it should. There may be some new data fields in the latest version that simply will not populate, because the older catalogues simply don't contain the same information as is possible with the new version.

Download the free 7 day trial, and see how it works.
