Need to upgrade to yosemite, will iphoto still work?

Hey guys, so my dad got a new Canon eos 7dmk2 the other day and it appears as if the raw files are not supported by our iMacs current Mavericks os.
So I have read a bit about iPhoto not working after upgrading to yosemite so I'm wondering if anyone know if this is true and if so what can I do to fix it? iPhoto is version 8.1.2 and I haven't found out any ways to upgrade it, I cant find iPhoto in app store and when I click search for upgrades inside iphoto it just sends me to a apple page that does not longer exist. Our mac is an iMac mid 2010 version 10.9.5.

A bit stupid question maybe but I'm scared to fuck up all our iPhoto library with well over 20k raw photos. Btw I have taken a time machine backup.

In advanced thanks, hopefully I can get some quick answers because the 7d mk2 is already starting to fill up the memory card so need to empty that soon..

I think it may have even happened when I updated to Mavericks, but my iphoto and imovie dont work. I never had used them but I was contemplating iphoto for photo organization before I did update. Happy I didnt. I did however talk to the folks at the apple store and said that I could reset my OS and it could possibly fix the issue with Iphoto. Im not sure if it is an issue with Apple IDs or not as I have changed since my original one I got back in 08'. Its definitely a toss up. hope that helps

Yeah thats what I use on my own computer but this is my dads mac and he just need something super simple. I think he just recently learned how to check his mail at home so I dont want to try learning him anything more advanced.
Anyways Yosemite is currently installing, I don't think iPhoto will work but if I have understood things right I will get a new program similar to iPhoto (iCloud photo library) and hopefully all the photos will be transferred over there more or less automatically. I think apple is killing iPhoto so hopefully this new program will be similar to use and just as simple.

So I finally dared to shutdown the computer and when I restarted it went over the installing in one minute then the computer turned on with yosemite and everything seems to work properly.
The iPhoto app just have a cross over it and instead its this new app just called "photos", when I opened that I got a question if I wanted to import from the iphoto or aperture library so thats currently being done.
