I was using Dreamweaver for many years to create and modify my website. I recently upgraded my Mac OS to Big Sur only to learn that my old version of DW no longer works. It only shows the html code page, which is nearly useless to me since I barely know how to write code. I always relied on the drag and drop/ WYSIWYG feature in DW. Suffice it to say I do not plan to upgrade DW and have discontinued using Adobe products. Is there any way, or any other software I could use to open the DW files and see them as I would in DW without having to soley rely on my scant knowledge of html code?

If you have NOT used any proprietary Dreamweaver workflows such as .dwt templates in your html then you could try Pinegrow or Wappler - Pinegrow is perhaps the best fit for you if the website you want to edit is not dynamic i.e., doesnt use any server-side language like php. Both Pinegrow and Wappler have visual interfaces.

Your lack of coding skills is not just a severe handicap, it's a fatal obstacle to continuing business as usual. Every code editor will require you to have some coding skills.
Reassess your priorities & find a practical long-term solution.
1. Learn to work with code.
OR
2. Switch to an online site builder (CMS) that doesn't require working with code.
The ball's in your court now.
