My wife wants to reformat as the performance has degraded severely. She

The new MacOSes have higher performance requirement that older ones. If
that's something like a 2009 MacBook and you install Yosemite, it's going
to be slower than running Snow Leopard. We found that the best way to
improve performance is replacing the hard disk with an SSD drive and adding
more memory.
Since we just stumbled across this a few days ago: If you have enabled
FileVault, you need the recovery password in order to format the hard disk,
or decrypt the drive before formatting.
