[QUOTE="pbd, post: 1593702, member: 329376"] Wow - that looks as if it might be a suitable solution. It looks fairly straightforward but although I have managed to install a few programmes, notably Firefox and Libre Office, I am not very familiar with the procedure. Of course there will be instructions, but is this fairly straightforward to install? It looks as if it will be much better than reformatting. Thank you very much for the suggestion. On the subject of external drives, when I plug them in there is a pop up box asking me if I want to use it for Time Machine. I admit that I did not make disks when I first booted up the Macbook (I would always do that first with Windows). I would like to set up Time Machine but do I need to have a separate external hard drive for this and if so, what size and file type should I look for? It has a SSD drive - I think it is 250GB but very little on it at the moment - just the operating system, a few photographs and the contents of my Dropbox folder (about 2GB). [/QUOTE]
