Snow Leopard Upgrade
I have snow leopard 10.6.3. My iMac model is 7.1. What OS should/could I upgrade to? My daughter's Mindcraft will no longer work with our OS.

In theory you can go all the way up to El Capitan

But you will want to add as much RAM as you can (<http://MacSales.com> and <http://Crucial.com> are 2 well respected Mac RAM vendors).
Unless you have previously downloaded Yosemite or Mavericks you can not longer get them (if you have previously downloaded them, you can re-download them from the App Store "Purchased" tab).
Lion 10.7 and Mountain Lion 10.8 can be purchased by calling the Apple Store and getting a download code emailed to you.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
