Vibha, what do you mean by "Macbook Air M2"?

Also, what do you mean by "e.g."?

Normally the latter means "for example", but that's not the same as your saying 
you actually have something.

Also the term "M2" usually refers to Apple Silicon M2 processor which is fairly 
current, while MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina is about 7 years old and doesn't run on 
any Apple Silicon released to the public.

Have you tried looking at your Activity Monitor program to see what uses a lot 
of resources and hence could lead to slowness?
