Sluggish late 2011mbp had Etrecheck

Hi everyone,

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)

2.8 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB

My late 2011mbp has been sluggish for the past 2 years now I reckon. I took the liberty of exchanging into a new battery as the old one was on its last leg. Same thing for the RAM which I upgraded to 16 gigs ram 1333mhz ddr3.

In belief that perhaps making a partition and moving all files of importance (movies, photos, music) to a separate place proved to be a mistake. The sluggishness of the computer persists.

Having done virus scan, battery exchange, ram exchange, partition. All while running macOS Sierra 10.12.6, I simply don't know what to do at this point.

I have attached below my report from Etrecheck in hope that some tech savvy person could assist me.

With sluggish, I mean it takes a very long time for the cpu to respond, beach ball being ever present as well.

Apart from that, the computer runs (to my knowledge) as should.

Thank you for taking the time to help me.
