Hi,
The other day I upgraded my MacBook Pro 2011 (with an SSD) from Yosemite to High Sierra, it rendered it unusable. I attempted to do a clean install but it kept falling or stopping.
I've now reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD that came with the MacBook (this took 17hrs). Again it's entirely unusable taking almost one minute to close simple applications such as system preferences, almost 40 seconds to simply navigate around in to different files and folders in Finder.
Prior to all this my MacBook was running fine on Yosemite and I didn't have any delays or sluggish performance. I upgraded as I was a little behind on keeping the software up to date.
Is this a signal that my MacBook is on the way out or my SSD is now faulty? I am struggling to understand what the issue may be given it was fine before I did any upgrades/changes.
I appreciate any help in advance.
Aidan
