[QUOTE="rsmmac, post: 1940286, member: 394586"] Update: I reset the computer to factory settings. Externally formatted the SSD, then removed the HDD, installed the SSD, Installed Catalina, then used Migration Assistant to move everything from my old computer to the new one. Upgraded what was needed, deleted things that wouldn’t work and… it’s great! It is so responsive and fast! The battery even changed from “Service needed” to ”Good”! I have a new battery, I’ll install it at some point soon. I haven’t yet dealt with the HDD, will erase and see if it clears out the file errors, to use as backup or something. It was definitely worth the time, and cost of the SSD (and battery) now. Thank you all, so much! [/QUOTE]
