Motherboard / CPU Lifespan
I have an Asus P8Z68-V motherboard and an i3 2120 CPU from about five years ago. It still works great, but one day it won't. I was wondering if there is any Data on the Lifespan of them. I know it would depend on many variances. What prompted this question is that I plan to stay with Win 7 and my OEM copy. If one day soon my motherboard dies, I don't believe my Macrium OS copy would be Legal and I would be forced to Win 10 as their are no more Win 7 retail copies (Product Keys). Does that sound like the way things would be?
