I have an older MacBook (2008). I am currently running MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5 operating system. Want to upgrade to 10.9 Mavericks but not sure I can. Trying to find my Model Identifier but no luck. Please advise.
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and look for it. It needs to be at least MacBook5,1 for your computer to be compatible with 10.8 or newer.
If you have a compatible Mac, you'll need to either have previously gotten Mavericks or Yosemite from the Mac App Store or go to a physical Apple Store and ask for those OS versions.

Check out this page to identify your mac: How to identify MacBook Pro models - Apple Support
In the page it mentions that you can find the model identifier by clicking on the apple logo on the top left, selecting "about my mac", and selecting "system report"
Thanks Niel, I located the Model Identifier. Time to retire this antique.
Thanks again,
