You used it for 12 years, or you have it for 12 years but bought another one a year or so ago?

my main machine is a 7 year old laptop. I do have a fancy newer one but i'm not gonna make much use of that unless i'm traveling. the old one works perfectly still and does everything I need as I've never gamed on it. the days of having to upgrade all the time are over. same goes for phones apart from one upmanship.

Mine is three years old. However, when I built it I did so that it will take over 6 years until I will need to upgrade it. Right now I'm having absolutely no problem with it, I can run anything anytime without errors.

My computer is 6 years old, but since I don’t do anything on it except surf the web and print files I don’t see any reason to upgrade.

If it aint broke, don't fix it is my motto.  My 2001 Win XP Pro box lasted more than a dozen years, it was actually the Mother Board that finally died.  I never had the blue screen of death - ever - not once.

I've replaced it with an acer Win XP Home Edition (second hand) - swapped out the Ram for the maximum (which would have cost a small fortune new) and added a graphics card.

Hasn't missed a beat in the last three years.

My main computer is 2 years old. I used my previous computer for 7 years, until the graphics card could not keep up with modern software.
It is not fast, but runs smooth with SSD.

Couldn't you just upgrade your GPU?
I could have done that. It was onboard, and I could have added a new GPU. But for a 7 (now 9) year old AMD dual core it was not worth it. And I wanted a modern quiet computer.

I find that I don't want to buy brand new desktops anymore. I might consider older Xeon powered workstations or servers. They are cheap now, you only need to get new SSDs or new HDDs for storage.

My 5 year old rack server has 48 GB RAM, and I'll probably upgrade it to 72 GB. Dual Quad Core with Hyperthreading, so effectively 16 cores. You can buy these for $500 or less.
