My old system was starting to run like shit anyway I had it for over 10 years
Hardware doesn't last forever and older hardware is vulnerable to more things.
It certainly would be nice if you never needed to upgrade anything and could just run the same hardware forever, but we don't live in that world.
I get it, there's that old saying "what Intel giveth Microsoft taketh away" but I've said it several times in this thread, you need to periodically upgrade hardware anyway to stay safer from certain kinds of malware
The malware part is the sad truth. You're right.
