Hi,
I would like to know if there's a cheap/easy way to "restore" my MacBook. I keep everything backed up regularly via Time Machine so I have all my data. I have an older MacBook (late 2006) my brother gave it to me and left some movies and stuff on there for me. It seems to be running very slow all the time so I want a way to clean it up and make it run faster. I would really like to just wipe the hard drive and start fresh but I don't want to lose my files. Also, the account name (or the one that shows up in finder/the side bar) is still his and I want to change it without losing access to all my stuff. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
