I purchased my iMac 5 years ago. It uses OS X Version 10.5.8.  I would like to upgrade to Maverick but it won't let. How do i accomplish this.  Thank you for your help!

I purchased my iMac 5 years.  I have never upgraded the operating system from the original version 10.5.8 
How do I upgrade to Maverick.  Thanks for any input.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
