I built my system (with help from several people on this site) a couple of years ago. Of course, the week after I bought Snow Leopard from Apple, they put out a new OS & I decided at that time it was going to be a LONG time before I would update/upgrade my version of OSX so I couldn't get pinched again. Well, the time has come that I now feel the pinch of things that are no longer supported with SL. Several more OSX versions have come & gone. This site has been solid & supportive throughout. I built my system from info gathered on this (well, the Original Tonymacx86) site, but I had to make about 10 modes that somebody else had figured out & just basically followed other people's EXCELLENT trailblazing advice, to make MY system work. That said, once I got it working I have NEVER had a problem with it that I didn't cause myself. OK. I'm honest. I've seen things moving & shot, only to find out that it was my own foot. I am an Engineer by education & Musician by birth. I was once told that if you're not breaking things, you're not learning. I must say, I HAVE learned quite a bit.
I will now get to the point...
I would sure appreciate it if somebody (many somebodies) would be kind enough to point me in the right direction of the list of what I REALLY need to do & be aware of to upgrade from SL 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9.1, please.
If there are detailed instructions somewhere here, THAT would REALLY be cool. What types of things do I need to be aware of, watch out for, etc? What are the gotcha's etc?
I've spent the last hour or so looking around this site (before & while writing this post) to see if I can find this info myself, but there's a LOT of stuff here & I know there are many people who know this site MUCH better than I do, so I'm hoping that people will be kind enough to share their knowledge of where things are.
When Tony moved the site years ago it looks like I didn't update my profile, so the list of system hardware is no longer here, so I'll start by listing that.
Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
CPU = Intel 3.1GHz Core i3
RAM = 16GB DDR3 Corsair
Video = 1GB EVGA NVidia GeForce Galaxy 210
HDD = 1.5TB Seagate

THANK YOU!!!
