    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.


    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

     

    • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher

     

    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
