As far as industry goes it’s a bit short

Industry standard is 5-6 years of support. After that, you replace the PC anyway.

In enterprise, you generally do.
You don't have to throw it away, just sell it, donate it or use it privately.

no? if theres no need to upgrade machine you just dont. most enterprise do because that shit is not supported anymore, so if they are internet enabled they dont have much choice.
