I now have a computer that runs on MacOS 10.15. I need a way to keep accessing my Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iWeb, Garageband, iMovie, etc. files on this machine. Upgrading to the current version of MacOS is not going to be an option any time soon.

Suggestions?

I think I need to amend what I originally wrote.

A VM is the only way that I know of, since you're losing the core software that supports 32 bit. If you could suck in your other machine still running the old OS, it might be viable.

The thing that I hate about Parallels in particular is their annual licensing. I think VMWare is better about that - I'm not certain on this - but I don't know if they can virtualize a Mac.
