trying to upgrade to Lion from Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a).

I am unable to find the download/upgrade option. Where can I go to download the software for $20? When I go to the "Store" it says open the App store to purchase. When I go the App store, it opens the "Store"

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

First, check that your machine is suitable for Snow Leopard. It needs to be Intel core 2 duo based.


Minimum specs for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications


To buy the DVD, if you are from the USA go to

In Europe or otherwise substitute your national code in place of /us above.


Note. In the UK … the last known price was £14.


Before you start upgrading, back up your files.


Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up any later updates.
