[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1656447, member: 42497"] G'day and welcome to the forums. The 16GB is the go. Need to know what operting system is running, how much free space is on the hard drive and any cleaning and antivirus programs installed. The Early 2011 model came out with Snow Leopard OS X.6, which is now four operating systems old and security etc is no longer supported by Apple. Think your best shot would be to download Yosemite via your Apple ID, use LionDiskMaker X to burn to a USB thumb drive, boot from the thumb drive, erase and format the hard drive and do a clean install. If there are programs/files you need to save backup to an external hard drive first. Do you have an Apple ID to access the App Store? [/QUOTE]
