We released SketchUp 8 in 2010, a little over seven years ago. If you’ve been able to maintain a system that runs that version effectively, you might well expect that you will be able to do the same with SketchUp Make 2017.
SketchUp Make 2017 will celebrate its seventh birthday in 2024. It is tough for me to imagine what the cutting edge of personal computing will look like that far out, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t expect long life for your current configuration.
