Slow Imac

My Mac is incredibly slow, I am not sure how to address it and would appreciate some advice based on EtreCheck report as to how to address the slow hard drive, and what action I can take myself. Many thanks!

Hi there, thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I can confirm its hideously slow and I can't stand it, but can you tell me why? Is it the age of the machine, or have I put to much on it, or is there a physical fault likely to have caused this? It just seems to not have handled like my previous Imac's in terms of lifespan and ability.


I will look into installing onto an external - thanks very much for that suggestion.


Kind regards, MS
