How do I upgrade my Safari Browser?

I have a Macbook, version OSX 10.6.8, Snow leopard operating system, and Safari version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2). I need to upgrade Safari and don't know how to do so. Any suggestions?


Thanks

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Run the Software Update pane of System Preferences and install any offered security updates. If you need a browser newer than Safari 5.1.10, you need to upgrade the computer’s OS or switch to a product such as Firefox.


To upgrade, 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.
