Heres how to do an upgrade install from Lion to Mountain Lion.

But if youre not sure, heres a list of models from apple.com that support Mountain Lion.

You can find more details by checking out the OS X Mountain Lion Tech Specs.

Logic Pro X Mountain Lion Mac Ready For

Get Your Mac Ready for Upgrade First, make sure youre Mac is up to date and running OS X 10.7.4 Lion.

Click the Apple icon and About This Mac.

Youll get a screen that lists the basic information about your system.

Here you can see I have a Mac Mini Mid 2010 with an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 8GB of RAM and OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E23).

While youre on this screen, go ahead and click Check for Updates.

Then install any updates for your Macs software that are available.

After youre OS is all up to date, open the Mac App Store and check for updates for the apps you have installed.

This update will take several minutes to update because its over 1GB.

When everything is up to date, back up your important data if you dont already have a solid backup strategy.

Logic Pro X Mountain Lion Download OS X

Install OS X Mountain Lion After your OS and apps are up to date, launch the Mac App Store and download OS X Mountain Lion (19.99 for Upgrade).

A Mountain Lion icon will display on the Launchpad while its downloaded.

Mine took a couple of hours because I upgraded the same day it became available.

I also recommend you plug in an Ethernet cable versus upgrading over WiFi.

Agree to the EULA and your system will restart automatically and complete the install process.

After the reboot, youll see an Install OS X screen with a progress bar at the bottom.

After Mountain Lion was installed, I found a message letting me know I had some incompatible software installed.

The incompatible software was also shown from icons on the Dock.

For example, here Im running Parallels Desktop 6.0 and cannot run it on Mountain Lion.

I had a few programs that werent compatible with the new version of OS X including Avast, Parallels and VirtualBox.

Keep this in mind before upgrading your Mac to Mountain Lion.

Check to make sure any mission critical programs you use are compatible with it.

Often times, third party software developers need time to catch up to the latest OS.
