Q: upgrade os

I have a Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.66 17" Mid-2010 running OS 10.6.8. Will this computer run a higher OS?

Yes. Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

Yes. It should be able to run Mavericks (and Yosemite, when it's released).

Time Machine backs up to "My Book" hourly, so I should be all set with that. I just found out that I need 10.7.5 to run the Quark upgrade, thus my inquiry. Thank you for the information. I didn't want to spend $19 to find out.
