Hello,
I thought I had posted this question earlier today, but can't find it so here goes again.
I have two iMacs (mid-2014 and late 2015). I upgraded the older one to High Sierra recently; the newer one (my main machine) is still running OS El Capitan 10.11.6. Both have 8GB RAM (original config).
I also have two MacBooks, one 2017 and the other a MB Air from 2014, both of which are running HS and have MS Office 2016 installed.
I have noticed an increase in beachballs since the changes and wonder if this is something that happens frequently when upgrading to HS, and/or installing MS Office 2016 on machines with limited memory.
I meant to switch to High Sierra on my main machine as well, but am now worried. Nevertheless, I did install the MS Office suite on it, and getting beachballs without HS, so maybe Microsoft is the culprit?
Or could there be another explanation?
Thanks in advance
Ann
