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?

There's so many more factors that go into that it's kind of hard to answer without more information. What's the model of laptop, what are you going to be running on it, do you expect there to be a lot of traffic/computation done on it? Also any answer is going to be at best an educated guess since it's impossible to know exactly when a computer is going to catastrophically fail.
