Welcome to Apple Support Communities

You have downloaded OS X 10.9.1 from the Apple website, and that's an OS X 10.9 update.

Instead, you need to open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks from there. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

When the download finishes, the OS X Mavericks installer will appear, so follow the steps. You will have OS X 10.9.1 after upgrading

Click this link > https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-mavericks/id675248567?mt=12 Then, press "View in Mac App Store", and download OS X Mavericks.

When the OS X Mavericks download finishes, the OS X Mavericks installer will appear, so follow its steps.

Do not worry if you see that it includes OS X 10.9.1. Apple updated the OS X Mavericks installer to include it
