I know my computer is very old, but I need any help I can get to help speed it up at all. It's a 2011 running High Sierra 10.13.1. I did the EtreCheck and I'm posting the report. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!
The report mentions a failing hard drive which is not unexpected for an original Apple hard drive of this age and is the source of the poor performance. Replacing the hard drive with an SSD would greatly improve performance, but 4GB of RAM will still be a limiting factor. Make sure to have a good backup.
