IKWYM. Common problem.

OTOH, a clean install is often nice and fast.

Some lovely generous chap gave me a dead MacBook Pro a month ago. I
refurbed it for my girlfriend -- new HD, bit more RAM, clean install
of the last version of macOS it can run.

Surprisingly, a 2010 machine running the 2017 release of macOS goes like stink.
