[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1423195, member: 24098"] The Mac App Store (right in your Dock) Yes, it should be. But you should still do a FULL backup prior to installing. And that goes for any time you make a major change to your machine. Lion (and likely Mountain Lion) introduces a bunch of new gestures - so yes, it will likely change a bit from what you're used to. It's a good idea to do system maintenance with a tool like [URL="http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php"]Onyx[/URL] to clear the cruft. I would also recommend getting your apps completely up to date to ensure compatibility. A tool like [URL="http://metaquark.de/appfresh/mac"]AppFresh[/URL] is handy for this purpose. Also, some people like to do a clean install of the OS, then bring back all of their apps/data/documents, etc with Time Machine after the update. This is the approach I normally take. But you may want to see how it does with a straight upgrade first. [/QUOTE]
