Hi Ronni, I managed to get iPhoto on a USB stick and installed it this morning, it ran straight away and without any problems. So iPhoto on Yosemite 10.10 is fine.
If you could let me know the best way and time to install the Yosemite 10.10.5 combo update and how to migrate/import to Photos from iPhotos. I believe you mentioned previously that I can still use iPhoto in Yosemite and El Capitan and that you use both iPhoto and Photos? Thanks.
