I'm trying to avoid doing a clean install. But it seems like I am out of options.

I moved all of my old files over from my Macbook Air to my 2015 Macbook via Time Machine.

Everything was ok for a little bit. Then the bluetooth to my trackpad, wireless keyboard and headphones started dropping out. The beachball started spinning and things just slow down.

I have restarted a few times, did a complete shutdown. I've restarted the NVRAM...I'm at my wits end... Anyone else have any other ideas before I decide to do a fresh install and install apps one at a time? This has been going on for the last 5 months.... Weekly restarts are now common.


Thanks

Just do an OS X reinstall on top of the existing one. Boot to Recovery Mode and do it from there.
That should fix nearly all OS X related issues.
