How Long Do Computers Last? 10 Signs You Need a New One

The longevity of a computer is a key concern for consumers. For a desktop PC, the answer is more complex, because it offers greater ability to customize the components than a laptop does. For most desktop PCs, you can expect a minimum three-year lifespan.

Key takeaway: Desktop computers generally last five to eight years.

5 Signs Your Storage Drive is About to Fail

Like all electronic devices, PCs don't last forever, and the parts inside them will eventually fail. While it's easy to replace a broken device, the same can't be said for the data stored in your machine. It should be said that in modern PCs that rely on solid storage, SSDs are generally more durable than HDDs. SSDs don't have moving parts and they can withstand accidental drops and other shocks and vibrations in laptops better than HDDs ever could. However, SSDs can fail, too, as do other forms of flash memory.

Here are five signs that you should keep an eye out for (or an ear), warning you that the drive storing your documents is nearing its end.

Microsoft is improving Word's Dark Mode, with a little more darkness

Microsoft is injecting a little more darkness into Word's dark mode, it said in a blog post over the weekend. The word processor previously only let you darken the ribbon and toolbars while the document itself remained bright white. The update will place the document onto a dark canvas.

You'll be able to toggle between modes using the Switch Modes button in the Word ribbon, and can disable the dark canvas in the options menu.
