Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Yosemite from the Mac App Store. If desired, you can instead buy a download code for Lion or Mountain Lion from the online Apple Store.

Regardless of which OS you upgrade the computer to, you should install more RAM in it.

Thanks Niel...I will purchase another external hard drive for the back-up task and can you tell from my "specs" how much RAM I should install?

You should add a 4GB module to the computer.
