    Hi when upgrading from one version of os x a disk is the best method we are now at mountain lion, but some of us are still using snow leopard which in my case was an upgrade from tiger.

    the only problem is if the core processor is not intel but one of the predecessor G processors then you are stuck. but an upgrade will give you the disk which can be used to format and upgrade the computer.

    each version giving a lot more useful facilities than the last and OS X unlike a Windows operating system disk is priced at a more realistic price if you are comparing like with like.

    upgrade disks are available the apple web site.
