You may be wondering what the phrase 'almost all' in the above sentence means. Mavericks will check to make sure that all of your apps are compatible with the OS; apps that won't work with Mavericks will be moved to an Incompatible Software folder. In addition, it's possible that some preference settings, particularly for the, will need to be reconfigured. That's because of the Finder, along with other parts of the OS, includes some changes that will require you to modify preference settings to meet your needs. People sometimes think of an upgrade install as only applying to the previous version of the OS; that is, you can upgrade OS X Mountain Lion to OS X Mavericks, but not an older version, such as OS X Snow Leopard. This actually is incorrect; with OS X upgrade installs, you can skip over versions of the operating system, jumping from just about any older version to a newer one. That's because upgrades since OS X Lion have included all of the core files needed since OS X Snow Leopard, and the installer is smart enough to determine the version of the OS that is being upgraded, and which files are needed to bring it up to date.
