Just need a rough estimate. I have a 10yr old laptop. I want to turn it into a Server. So it will be running 24x7.

How long before it stops working?

Do you have an exact model of the laptop? Knowing the exact model helps with estimating since there's factors outside of the general specs for how long a computer will last.
