Hi, I currently run Desktop for Mac 13.3.2 on OS X 10.10.5, with no issues. When I try to install version 14 I get the following message:
"Parallels Desktop cannot be started because some of the required components are missing from the operating system of your Mac."
I have already tried reinstalling my OS. BTW, I use several older applications that I cannot replace, which I why I am not running the latest OS on this computer (2012 MacBook Pro 16GB/1T SSD).
 
It appears that Parallels 14 does not support 10.10. According to the FAQ the supported OS's are:
Mac Software:
  • macOS Mojave 10.14
  • macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 or later
  • macOS Sierra 10.12.6 or later
  • OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 or later
I would think you would continue to run Parallels 13 until you upgrade your host OS. If you have Apps that require 10.10, then you might consider running them in a VM. As it is I don't believe even Apple is supporting 10.10 from a security perspective any longer so it would probably be a good idea to move in this direction
