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?

Chickenf662 said it best. Too many factors. Hdd typically dies first, replace it with ssd if not already done. Make sure you clear out the vents/fans to keep temps low, heat kills everything.

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.
