Purchase this Snow Leopard disk from the Apple online store;

Then run the Snow Leopard combo update:

What says you have '10.6 or up'? Snow Leopard (10.6) is not a download but a DVD. See my link.

Installing Snow Leopard is definitely the first step because it is required for all subsequent upgrades. What your computer can actually do depends upon the model and current specifications and just saying "MacBook" doesn't tell us much.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
