[QUOTE="Sparky61, post: 1746337, member: 376025"] Thank you both so much! I hadn't considered cloning my internal drive to the external (SSD Glyph Atom that arrived yesterday) drive. harryb, I'm running 8GB of memory, just installed. I don't have any old apps like Office 2004 (different machine, project for a later time). My MBP runs Office for Mac 2011. Well, that's "new" to me ... I'll look into SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner today and follow your advice on a clean install. As far as I know, the 10.11.6 on my 64GB flash drive is a clean copy, not an upgrade. Once Sierra came out, Apple hid the upgrade to El Cap, so I called Apple and the tech directed me to El Cap ... but human memory is malleable and I may be wrong about it being a clean copy. OK, step 1 is SD or CCC, so off to investigate. [/QUOTE]
