Before we talk about making your computer last longer, let's understand how long they usually work. Normally, a computer that's kept in good shape can work for about five to eight years if it's a big one (like a desktop), and about three to five years if it's smaller (like a laptop). But remember, these numbers can change based on how much we use them, how good they are, and how well we take care of them.
