How can I update my mac from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

I have a older MAC and want to update it to the most current OS that Apple has but the automatic download section says there are no updates. How do I update my OS?


Thanks for your help.

The latest version of OS X is 10.13 High Sierra, but in order to get this, you need to first upgrade to OS X 10.11 El Capitan. Check if your mac can get El Capitan at this page:

OS X El Capitan - Technical Specifications

If you can get it, download it from here.

Then, if your mac can run High Sierra (check macOS High Sierra - Technical Specifications),

follow the instructions on this web page:

Upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Official Apple Support

Hope this helps!
