Unfortunately, if your new iMac has macOS Catalina, then only photoshop elements 2020 and 2021 will install and fully work.

Other older versions like pse 15, even though the editor/organizer itself is 64 bit, some other components like the updater and such are 32 bit and won't run on macOS Catalina thus preventing the installation, since apple deprecated 32 bit processes on macOS Catalina.

Yes you need to buy a new version, which at the present time is Photoshop Elements 2021.

Adobe does offer upgrade pricing.

You should post in the Photoshop Elements forum – this is the Photoshop forum.
