Download macOS Big Sur
If you're using macOS Mojave or later, get macOS Big Sur via Software Update: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Software Update.
Or use this link to open the macOS Big Sur page on the App Store: Get macOS Big Sur. Then click the Get button or iCloud download icon.
Begin installation
After downloading, the installer opens automatically.
Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.
If the installer asks for permission to install a helper tool, enter the administrator name and password that you use to log in to your Mac, then click Add Helper.
Allow installation to complete
Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs both macOS and related updates to your Mac firmware.

Does that mean I have to upgrade from Snow Leopard first?
That or switch browsers.
And to what (OS X 10.6.8 at the moment)?
Depending on which Mac model you have, Lion or El Capitan.
I have read that Sierra wouldn't work, so which one would?
See above.
And how and where do I get it?
Download codes for Lion can be bought from the online Apple Store. El Capitan is available here.
Am I right, backing up everything via Time Machine and then upgrade OS - or should I get a Pro to do it for me?
You're right.
Does it make sense to update my Air to the same OS or does it matter?
This doesn't matter.
