It takes 1-2 minutes to open Google Chrome when no other apps or processes (that I know of) are running. We do not use this computer for much so I am confused why it is so so slow. It is painful as it beach balls over and over again.
Here is the full Etrecheck report,
iMac 21.5″, macOS 14.0
You bought a base model 21.5" iMac that has a glacially slow 5400 RPM HD. The HD is the primary bottleneck to the computer. The ONLY way to make it faster is to take the 5400 RPM HD out of the equation and the only way to do that is to use an external SSD. Please click the following link for instructions on how to achieve this and the link below that (2) is the external SSD I 'd recommend for your 2019 21.5" iMac.
