Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion

  1. Apple's decision to end support for OS X Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) is reasonable - but it's the kiss of death for a large segment of the Mac resale market. You see, Snow Leopard was the.
  2. Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is a substantial upgrade and especially for only $29 (or the $25) it's a steal! It's not a UI (user interface) upgrade per-say, it's an upgrade to the overall system. The system runs smoother (if that's even possible), it takes less hard drive space, and, well, it's developed by Apple.
  3. Mac OS X Snow Leopard is an even more powerful and refined version of the world's most advanced operating system. In ways big and small, it gets faster, more reliable, and easier to use. New core technologies unleash the power of today's advanced hardware technology and prepare Mac OS X for future innovation.


Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6) is the seventh major release of Mac OS X (now named macOS), Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. Snow Leopard was publicly unveiled on June 8, 2009 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.

You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
