Macbook pro 13 inch (mid 2010), not crashing but slow.

My mac is working fine, internet functions but it just seems a bit sluggish. It is 6 years old and I still feel like it has life in it. I am new to this forum and have seen people with similar issues posting system reports using etrecheck. If anyone could interpret this for me with some suggestions I'd appreciate it. Seems like there are some talented folks on here.


Thank you in advance.

Slow performance after upgrading OS X on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.

Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
