My IMAC's OS IS High Sierra 10.13.6 and will not accept any further software updates for Safari. Do I have to purchase a new MAC to make this happen or is there another solution if I take it to the Apple Store?

A late 2012 through late 2013 iMac can be upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7 but no later. See: How to download macOS - Apple Support
A mid 2014 and late 2014 iMac can be upgraded to the latest version of Big Sur macOS 11 but no later. See: How to download macOS - Apple Support

If the macOS cannot be upgraded, for security reasons you may want to use a 3rd party internet browser that supports running a current version rather than using Safari. Examples include Chrome and Firefox.

Hello DippyGirl-617,
You would need an iMac late-2012 or later to be able to upgrade to macOS Mojave, and thus Safari. If your iMac is older, the only solution would be to use another browser such as Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/.
