How to check your Macs Model and Year
1. Click ? Apple menu on the top right of the screen and select “About This Mac”, then click on “More Info”
2. Note the model number and Model date and compare it with the list we’ve got from Apple officially supporting Macs.

Supported Macs must be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or later, or Mac OS X 10.7.1 Lion or later, that requirement is due to Mountain Lion being available exclusively through the App Store as a download.
