You have this MacBook Pro

You need to look and tell others what version of OS X (10.7.4?) you have (About This Mac) and get the free upgrade (otherwise $19) to 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain Lion
To install OS X Lion or Mountain Lion on another Mac, open the Mac App Store, sign in to your account, and re-download the OS by selecting it in the Purchases list. Follow these steps:

You system should also automatically be set to check for the most recent software updates to keep it current, but won't tell you if there is a totally new version or release for OS X.
Seems like it could do that much for you when you register though.

And yes you should get started with backing up your system right from the start.
