Hello,
I am in a coding bootcamp right now and I am loving it by the way. At school we use iMacs so I was able to get a macbook, but it is from 2007. It had 1 gig of ram, and I upgraded the RAM to 4 gigs. The specs are in my profile. Ever since I upgraded the RAM, it has been performing flawlessly. It never crashes. The only problem is that I have an old operating system. I have what I think is Snow Leopard? and I would like to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't get anything from the App store since it doesn't allow me to download anything since I don't have OS 10.10. Where would I get a copy of Yosemite, and would it be worth it? The only issue I have with this computer is that with I need to push my code to GitHub and GitHub no longer supports the version of safari that I am using. Also I can't install Chrome, and I need it for the developer tools. I can install a portable version, but it also says it is no longer supported.
Could I update to yosemite by getting the file from somewhere else and then installing it?
Also
Concerning web browsers, am I at risk for malware if I am using an outdated version of safari? Everything is up to date for this OSx.
I really like this computer and it is super easy to code on. I am tired of my PC which I pretty much just use Linux on, but it has a tiny screen and is annoying.
Please don't say,"you need a new computer" because I would like to make the best of what I have and it is super fast and smooth.
It's crazy this computer is from 2007 and it runs better than many PCS!!!:dance:
Thanks
