I think we are on our 3rd pc and first laptop.
I still have our second pc and its 12 years old with something like a 40gb or is it mb hard drive. It's way to small for me to use to back up my laptop or pc.

Interestingly, I would not consider a change of OS or had drive to be an upgrade. To me, the former is a feature change and the latter just adding additional consumables.

We upgrade the games PC every 18 months to 2 years (that is one or more of motherboard, CPU and graphics card). Other PCs less often.

My oldest laptop is now about 10 years old and the youngest about 2. I just adapt their software and application to suit the available processing power.
