    Based on the minimum 64GB internal drive requirement I would say that 256GB is the better option. (using Windows 10 as a ref.)

    The more space the better and you will need to replace the small internal drive and install Windows 10 in readiness for the Windows 11 upgrade. Just my opinion.

    According to the PC Health Check my Processor does not meet the minimum requirements but is listed on the document showing "Windows 11 Supported AMD Processors".

    My specs:

    AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.50 GHz

    16 GB Ram

    220 GB SSD

    TPM 2.0

    DirectX 12
