Click here and download El Capitan. If your computer is too old or you're going to stop upgrading at Lion, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo CPU(Xeon Macs are compatible, but Core Duo ones aren't) and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, order a download code.


Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
