iMac's getting slow May I need to change HDD to SSD ?
I had a iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) which one was working smooth after I installed High Sierra , everything is getting slow . I formatted and re-installed Mac OS High Sierra is same . Downgrade to Mac OS Sierra is same as well.
Im guessing My HDD need to change or have bad sectors or something else . Could you help me about it ?
