My Macbook has been broken since October and I finally had it fixed last week, after I got it back it was incredibly slow and laggy so to see if this was the computer hardware still broken (they replaced motherboard) or a software thing I thought I would do a clean install of Yosemite instead of just upgrading from the app store (I also formatted the HD). I have read whilst researching how to do all this that it is much better to do a clean install instead of an upgrade anyway.
Whilst doing this I had some problems and ended up having to reinstall Lion via the internet recovery option, so I will just upgrade to Yosemite once it has installed Lion again via the app store.
My question is, is there any real world difference between what I set out to do and what I have ended up having to do in terms of machine performance?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
