8GB RAM? No, IMHO 16GB is absolute minimum, especially for Windows.
Assuming you want to actually DO something on the thing! ;-)

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.

hmm. I thought he was asking about WINDOWs fitting. But while
we're on the topic of Linux fitting, here's my Linux DF for / and
/home:
/dev/sda2 37G 26G 9.6G 73% /
/dev/sdb2 1.8T 1.7T 18G 99% /home
So, ignoring home, my laptop Linux Mint fits fine in 30G. And I've
got LOTS of 'junk' loaded. At my last job, I allocated around 30G
for the Linux partition, if I remember right, which was pretty much
a default install of Linux Mint.
That being said, here are some sizes for the virtual PCs I've
created for the class I teach:
Ubuntu2.2: 28.92 GB
Ubuntu2.2: 25.85 GB.
MicroOS: 34.46GB
EdUbuntu: 24.0GB
CentOS: 30.15GB
Note that these were 'mostly' 'standard' installs, but obviously
YMMV! (especially since MY mileage varied!)
Now, I also did a Windows install, W11 or W10 I think, and I don't
think I added much to it, and it took 50.0GB
So, for Windows I agree that you're probably out of luck getting it
in to 30GB! ;-)

<plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org>: I got a 30 GB drive. Will windows
fit on such a drive?
likely no
It won't fit *my* Void Linux setup either. Here's the result of df -h
on my Void Linux computer: /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.4T 62G 1.2T 5% / I'm
pretty sure if I just installed a CLI Linux with no applications it
would fit in 32GB, but with modern browsers and X and the like, no.
