I Have a MacBook Air with OS X 10.5.8 how can I upgrade to a more recent OS X?

1. Clickhere, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
2. After #1, open the Mac App Store and try downloading El Capitan. If you get told that it's incompatible with your computer, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
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.

Can your Mac run El Capitan?
OS X El Capitan requires one of the following Mac models and versions of OS X. It also requires at least 2GB of memory and 8.8GB of storage space.
From here > Upgrade to OS X El Capitan
it is asking me to purchase snow leopard. Once I purchase it will there be an option for me to download it to my mac or will it be physically shipped to my house?
It needs to be shipped.

When I clicked the link it said that I must have OS X 10.6.6 in order to download EL Capitan? Currently I have OS X 10.5.8
OK. My Mac does not have a cd drive on usb port will this matter?
You need to use an external optical drive.

I understand that part... what I wanted you to check were the "requirements" for El Capitan before you purchased a disc.
OS X El Capitan requires one of the following Mac models and versions of OS X. It also requires at least 2GB of memory and 8.8GB of storage space.
As Niel states. You would need an external optical drive, not to mention upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6 before you can upgrade to El Captain. But there's no point in doing any of that if your Mac doesn't meet El Capitan requirements above.
Yes it is available for the upgrade I understand now thanks.
Ok good deal! 🙂
