We only upgraded because our daughter upgraded and gave my wife her old Macbook that was newer and with higher specs.

My old HP machine is still going and is 11 years old. I don't know if it would still support updates because I stuck with Windows 7 on it. Win 7 ran great, but it was pestering me to upgrade to Win 10 when I had it.
