Q: Any advantages of OS X Marvericks over OS 10.7 ?

I want to upgrade my OS 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 or higher, but I found OS X Marvericks is free.

Are there any advantages of OS Marvericks over OS 10.7?

    You will also find that Mavericks is no longer available having been replaced by Yosemite which is also free.

     

    Main advantages are fewer bugs and faster performance.

    If I had the choice of using Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks (no longer available), or Yosemite, Lion would be my last choice by far.

     

    Many believe that Mountain Lion was what Lion should have been.

     

    If your Mac is capable of running Yosemite, that's what you should use. It's free too.
