1. Clickhere, install the DVD, and run Software Update.

2. After #1 and if desired, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7. If you do this, you should install more RAM in the computer.

Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.
