Mac Mini OSX 10.6.8 won't let me update. It says I need OSX 10.9 or higher. Computer is old and has 2 cores. Can I increase to 10.9 or is my computer now obsolete. It's old but suits my needs.

You will have to update to OS X 10.9 to be able to install Firefox 49+ versions.

See:

I know I need up update to OS X 10.9. I need to know how or where I can get this done or even if I can get it done.

My Mini is a 1.1 and I believe is from 2007. It is not compatible with Mavericks or Sierra. I have Snow leopard on it now. I need to know what has to be done to the computer itself to allow me to keep it and update the operating system. Thank you.
