[QUOTE="bwatterson, post: 1437557, member: 267798"] Hey Amp, It's actually an incredibly easy process to update your MBP and MBA to Mountain Lion now that it is done 100% through your App Store. First thing I will say is that you must be running Snow Leopard or Higher (OS 10.6 or higher) to access the app store. If you are running a lesser operating system, you are going to have to do take some extra steps. [B]Assuming you currently have Snow Leopard (OS 10.6)[/B] You want to open your app store and search for Mountain Lion, it will probably appear as the first result, and cost around $20 dollars, you'll need to purchase this. You can sign into the app store with the same information you use for your itunes account. (account will be under quick links on your right side or it will prompt you to sign in upon purchase, but remember that for the next step) Once you purchase and download the OS update, simply go to the next computer, sign into the app store using the same information, search mountain lion, and this time it should just say INSTALL instead of having a price. and follow the same steps as you did previously. Apple usually provides a couple licenses, knowing people could have a number of computer in their households Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
