i have a macbook pro available to use at my office. however i heard its slow and laggy which could be due to the apps put by others. How do i reset all so its back to top condition. Being a i5 2.5ghz and 4gb ddr3 ram it should not lag i guess.
How to factory reset a mac ?

i5 generation? and hdd or ssd?
if ssd, is it the NVMe version or the SATA version?
The above would detrmine if the system would be fast or laggy
Resetting is easy - Either create a new admin user , login as new user and delete other profiles
ALternatively, just do a fresh install
Also, if its an old version (old gen i5/non SSD etc) then reinstall OS version 10.6 or 7 to keep it snappy

That would mean it is quite old and 10.9 is overkill for it
To put it in perspective, the new nvme ssd hit 800/ MB/S VS arnd 300 for the Old SSDs vs 100 on the old spinning drives..
Look up the model number and do a fresh install of the oldest 10.x versionit originally shipped with.. that will make the performance more than acceptable
