Update Mac os x 10.6.8 to 10.9

Hi,

I want to update my iMac with 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9. Unfortunately Mavericks isn't available any more in the Mac App Store. Is there any possibility to update the iMac to MAvericks 10.9 without loosing any Data and without installing the complete System new ?

Thanks for your Help

If I use Snow Leopard , I cannot access my El capitan drives.

If this is during a restart, try holding down the option/alt key during the restart.
