Why must it be an iMac? 

 

Photoshop CC can be installed on any Windows or Mac computer, providing it exceeds the minimum CPU, RAM & GPU requirements.

  • Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 24H2, 23H2; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
  • MacOS 15 (Sequoia), 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura)

If you're unsure about what you need, ask an adult parent or teacher to assist you.

When you rent a computer for one month to use Photoshop be sure you buy a MONTHLY subscription to Photoshop, not an annual subscription with monthly payments

 

If you buy a HIGHER COST Monthly subscription you may cancel at any time without a fee... when you buy an Annual subscription with Monthly payments, and you do not cancel in NO MORE than 14 days from the start of your subscription, you pay 1/2 of the remaining time if you cancel early... you also need to keep track of your annual renewal date, so you may cancel after your 12th payment, before your subscription renews and you start a new one year subscription

... to add, you won't be buying a student plan because they are all annual contracts.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
