Upgrade to 10.12 (no intermediate OS is available any more forever?) My understanding is that the only options available to me at this time are: Does the above quote mean I MUST have the "combo, Supplemental" AND ALL THE FOLLOWING before I can install Sierra? (In other words, 4 additional "installs" after installing 10.7, just to prep for taking the giant leap to Sierra?)Ĥ. "Note, as of last writing of this tip, the only available upgrades to 10.6.6 are 10.6.7, 10.6.8, 10.7, and you can take 10.7 up to 10.7.5 Combo, Supplemental update, and 10.7.5 Security Update 2014-004 followed by 10.7.5 Bash update. After that, the discussion indicates I'll need to upgrade 10.7 to 10.7.5 before I can upgrade to Sierra is that right? In the discussion 6271, there's this: If so, I guess I will have to use one of those backups to get all my data, files, everything back on the Mini?Ģ. What happens next? Is the installer going to erase my hard drive to install the new OS? (There seems to be an indication that may occur-in that article-but it's not clear to me.)Ī.

I'm hung up at the point of installing 10.7 Lion-I paid for and downloaded the installer, so I'm ready to push the button to install. I need to do this because 10.6.8 browsers are supported by fewer and fewer of my online services (bank account, doctor, etc).and of course, I need at minimum 10.10 to download, install and use Google Chrome if I want to access those accounts, for example. I'm finding it's a bit too thorough and covers way too much ground that may not be relevant to my situation. I'm trying to follow the steps in discussion 6271, Upgrading to 10.7 and above. Only 2gb RAM, but I bought more (went wild and bought 2 4gb 'cards' to replace the two 1gb original things) and will install it after I do the upgrade (or am I missing something about the order of things.since I don't believe that new RAM is recognizable to OS 10.6.8.seems I read that somewhere, maybe at OWC in the chips' descriptions?) I have a MacMini mid-2010 Core2Duo running 10.6.8.
