My new imac is running very slow
I recently replaced my 2011 21.5 iMac with a new model 18,1. The 2011 imac had slowed down to the point it was almost unusable and I am having the same issue with the new one. We don't use any intensive programs, no Photoshop etc. Mainly we only use this machine to connect to the web and use G suite tools for education and work. My wife uses splashtop to connect to her office now that she's working from home. I'm wondering if I messed up by transferring the settings from the old mac to the new one. Would it have been better to just start fresh with this and simply transfer any documents and photos I needed? I still have the old mac so I can wipe this one and restart if that is necessary.
I realize that I got the base model hard drive, could that be the issue?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
