Upgrading from OS X 10.5.8

I have recently bought a second hand macbook pro mid 2009. I tried installing el capitan as the previous owner had that on the laptop. I am stuck on OS X 10.5.8

any ideas how to upgrade to El Capitan or do i need to upgrade to lion and then download El Capitan through the app store?


MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11

Click here and download the installer. You may need to use a different Mac to create an installation thumbdrive from it and/or erase or repartition the internal drive.
