I am trying to upgrade to a later operating system so I can download new apps but usually get message saying I need later version to install. I am using my old 10.6.8 because this Mac was given to me by my niece. Is there any way to upgrade? I am not an expert with Mac since I always used PCs and could use a little instruction.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
