You hard drive is to full. Anytime you get a drive more than 80% filled it will start to slow down.

Standard RAM: 4 GB Maximum RAM: 16 GB

Details: By default, 4 GB is installed as two 2 GB modules.

This model supports 16 GB of RAM using two 8 GB modules.

I would also recommend a Seagate SSHD 1 TB. Use the existing drive for storage.

Or

adding a smaller SSD drive and turning it into a Fusion Drive.

But you may to clean up the drive and eliminate duplicate items or whatever is taking up your HD space.

Here's how to add the second drive.
