I would like to upgrade my OS and was wondering if I will experience any issues after the installation is complete? I have a MacBook Pro 15-inch, early 2011 and I am currently running 10.6.8 and was thinking of going to El Capitan or any newer previous version. I have lots of email content in Mail and wanted to make sure this was not affected.

If you're going to upgrade, your only option is El Capitan; Mavericks and Yosemite are no longer available for you to download and install. I'd first backup all of your important files and documents to an external drive, then go through and make sure each of your 3rd party apps are compatible with El Capitan. If there isn't an update for it that will work with EC, uninstall it. Do the same for all your drivers, plugins, and extensions. Once you're sure everything you have will work with El Capitan once you update it, then do the upgrade.
