asked Google "how much disk space is needed for windows 11",<br>
and it told me:<br>
<br>
---<br>
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>

<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>
