64 GB<br>
Storage: 64 GB or larger storage device. If your PC does not have a <br>
large enough storage drive, there are sometimes options for upgrading <br>
the drive.<br>

The disk space required for Windows 11 can vary depending on the <br>
specific version and any additional features or applications you may <br>
want to install. However, Microsoft has provided minimum system <br>
requirements for Windows 11, including disk space. As of my last update, <br>
Microsoft recommends a minimum of 64 GB of storage for Windows 11. <br>
However, it's advisable to have more space available, especially if you <br>
plan to install additional software, store files, or allow for system <br>
updates and temporary files.<br>

Makes me nostalgic for the box set of 4 or 5 micro floppies for RedHat <br>
4.2 circa 1998.... Yikes!!<br>
<br>
Don't forget you will need 8GB of RAM at a minimum.<br>
