I was hoping you guys would tell me if its best to do a clean install. The second link that you gave me talks about a clean install with el capitan, and I don’t want to go there yet. I want to get rid of mavricks and go to yosemity but not sure if I should do the clean install, also I’m so new at the mac I’m not even sure what a clean install is.

Here's an article that explains the process: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT201475. In short, you download the installer package from the app Store and run it. The rest is pretty seamless after that. You can go for a clean install which totally erases the HD or you could go for an in place update which preserves settings. If you'd like to try the clean in stall check out the below article: http://osxdaily.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-os-x-el-capitan-mac/.

I played around with it a little bit, but when I couldn’t access my favourite web sites with safari and no one seemed to have a solution for me I quit and used windows again, and I’m still using windows to access my favourite sites using jaws and the arrow keys to read my favourite recipes and easily select them copy paste them into a word document. Of course I wish I could do this on the mac but we can’t have everything we want. However I’ve decided to give the mac another go, Hopefully I will find another use for it other then my recipe surfing. So here is my dilemma since when I bought this mac it came with mavricks and now most people are using el capitan or yosemity I was wondering if you kind people can walk me through properly installing yosemity and do you all think that’s a good idea?
