I have Leopard but I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Hi there,


I have Leopard but I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

I know that I need Snow Leopard before I can update further... however... Will I lose any data or applications? Bearing in mind if it was a succesfull installation of Snow Leopard.


Thanks.

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You won't lose anything upgrading to Snow Leopard. A Mac OS X upgrade keeps everything and most of the applications you have will work correctly in Snow Leopard. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading, so you will be sure that you won't lose anything if the upgrade doesn't finish correctly.


After upgrading OS X, open  > Software Update, and install OS X 10.6.8. From there, you will be able to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion if you want, but Snow Leopard is still supported so there's no reason to upgrade unless you need a OS X Mountain Lion feature that is not available in Mac OS X Snow Leopard
