2011 Macbook Pro stuck on O/S 10.6.8

My daughters macbook HD failed and wouldn't boot. Long story short, I bought a new HD and reinstalled the original O/S which came with the computer which is 10.6.8.

I pressed the update my mac button which then downloaded all the updates for that release but nothing for 10.7 etc...

I've tried going to the app site and apple site to get the updates but am then told I can't update to 10.10 because I don't have atleast ver 10.7. I tried getting 10.7 just to get the ball rolling but that is not available at the Canadian app store.

It seems no matter which way I turn I run into a snag. Anyone have any ideas on what to try next, or is it a "take it to the apple store" situation?
