If you want to repurpose your old computer mouse, turn it into a holiday ornament, soap holder, or counterfeit coin detector. If you're feeling tech-savvy, use the mouse case to build a drone.

At the same time, dealing with an old, sluggish computer is a frustrating experience. If apps and websites are taking ages to load, it can seriously impact your productivity.

If you’d rather keep your old computer in service a little longer, you've got more options than you might think. These options vary in terms of the time and money needed.
