The next step is to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; it'a a prerequisite for 10.6.8, 10.7.5, and 10.8.4.


If you want to go beyond 10.6.8, open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
