When is it time for a new laptop and what can you do to get old one to keep going doing what you want i

Hi

Wondered what clues does your laptop usually provide to tell you it's time for a new one? And what can you do to get your old one to keep going another few months?

Have a older laptop that was bought a few years back at a sale and have had that for about 3 years plus it was probably a few years old then so now would be atleast 5 years old,

The older laptop had windows vista sticker on it but it had no hdd so put another in.

Also it had a gig memory in it maximum support is 2 gig and put another gig strip in so it's now at maximum.

It's getting slower and slower and don't have the $ for a new laptop at moment and wondered what you could do to get it as fast as a recent model until then.

Do however have a fairly recent one with a broken screen and think that's all that's wrong, and should work with a new screen, memory upgrade and a reload.

The older one however is lucky to still be in one peice

Thanks
