Early 2011 MacBook Pro Super Buggy on High Sierra

I missed the time frame to update my early 2011 MacBook Pro to High Sierra because Mojave had already been released (I'm a bit of a procrastinator). So, over the weekend, my friend created a bootable drive for me with High Sierra. On Tuesday, I updated my Mac. I used it yesterday and am on it again this morning, but now, I'm noticing that it's pretty buggy. All I have open are a few tabs in Chrome, the Messages app, my VPN and TextEdit (which I use for my freelance writing work). I was away from the computer for a bit, but earlier, I continuously got the rainbow wheel of death while switching between tabs and apps, which is annoying! I'm wondering if it's worth rolling this Mac back to Sierra. Anyone else have issues like this? I don't remember it being so buggy on Sierra.

Though weirdly, it seems like it's a bit better right now. :confused:
