I asked Google "how much disk space is needed for windows 11",
and it told me:

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

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

Makes me nostalgic for the box set of 4 or 5 micro floppies for RedHat
4.2 circa 1998.... Yikes!!

Don't forget you will need 8GB of RAM at a minimum.
