Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have OS X 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and want to install Garmin express map updates, which requires 10.7; should I order the disc or try for yosemite; guess I need 2 GB internal RAM and 8 GB external (flash?); true?
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), got it around 2010
1. Try for Yosemite.
2. The computer should have at least 4GB of RAM and 8GB free on the internal drive before upgrading. An external drive isn't directly required, but the computer should be backed up to one so that data doesn't get lost in the event a problem occurs.

Thanks, Niel. I don't think I have 4 GB RAM; I may not even have 2 GB free. How do I tell?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu. The amount of free RAM doesn't matter when upgrading; only the total amount installed does.

Thanks again; I only have 1GB SDRAM originally. How do I expand to 4 GB (or can I)?
Buy more from a source such as OWC or Crucial; they'll provide installation instructions.

Thanks a bunch, Niel! I'll try that. Kim
Upgrade Mac mini from 10.6.8 - how recent can I go?
