Update Your Mac

Another quick and easy way to boost your Mac’s performance is to update it. Sometimes, the reason why it’s running slow is because of a software issue that Apple already fixed in a software update.

Because of this, you should try to keep your Mac up to date by doing the following:

1. Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen (the one that looks like the Apple logo).
2. Open System Preferences.
3. On the left sidebar, click on General.
4. Go to Software Update.
5. If there’s an update available, click Update Now.
