    I have a base 2011 13" Macbook Air that I've had since new (that I love). Its currently running El Capitan (after experiences with later OSs caused me to revert due to performance issues). It is fairly slow and some basic tasks seem to take a while. I've wiped and reinstalled the OS so its...

    Help! 2011 MBP Crash on Startup

    My wife has a late-2011 MBP (obsolete I know, but it has sentimental value), 15" top of the line processor. She rarely uses it and a few months ago I installed a new SSD and RAM. Made a huge improvement and no issues for a while with either of those. Now, the MBP is crashing at startup. It goes...

    A few days back, I decided to go back to Lion (the OS that originally shipped with my Late 2011 MBP. I did this for a few reasons: 1. lack of an ssd. The new macOSs are designed to be used with Fusion drives or SSDs. Having neither, I decided to go with 10.7 2. Lack of 8Gb RAM: I have 4GB, was...
