I recently upgraded my computer and now I am unable to access iPhoto
Is it possible to access the photos on my computer?
Yes. Use the Photos app that comes with the OS and replaced iPhoto more than 4 years ago.
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch Photos. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and point at your iPhoto Library. It will do the rest.
Here are some user tips from Photos for Mac User Tips that will help you in your transition from iPhoto to Photos:

Thanks!! It worked and I was able to recover my photos. I do realize that iPhoto was discontinued but still enjoyed the platform, ease of use and familiarity. Was not thinking about it when I upgraded... I really should have known better. As long as I have my recovered photos I'm happy.
Help for accessing pictures I had in iPhoto?
