[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1801730, member: 56379"] Agree with Ashwin...a slow spinner HD would not be the main cause of slowness. One test that I frequently recommend is boot the computer from an external storage device with ONLY a fresh copy of the macOS installed. When you do this...you can quickly determine if the computer is having a hardware or software/OS issue. This is a key step in how to approach further troubleshooting.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
