My mid 2010 MacBook Pro is running extremely slow
Recently I attempted to revive my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. I stopped using the machine three years ago after I updated to El Capitan and it started running slow and beach balling constantly. I was previously using Mavericks and it worked great. I was too busy at the time to deal with it so it just sat there. I'm now trying to figure out what is wrong with it. I just ran a etrecheck report and received some strange findings in the report. Can someone help me interpret the report. Thanks
