[SOLVED] New build and VM

[reggyboy61]

My current pc build is 8 years old so I'm thinking of building another one to pre empt this one failing and have a few questions.I'm currently dual booting between Mint and Windoze but i'm getting pissed off with this and I can never get wine to play properly so i'm thinking Vm.So run windows within Linux VM and was wondering would a SSD of 500gb be enough or go for I Tb hdd?.I dont store a lot of stuff such as music or videos just mainly photos and docs.
I was even going to try out Vm on the current pc to make sure it will run the windoze programs or is the no need,as everything will run as if on a Windoze pc.

1. What will the Windows instance be used for? Games within a VM are substandard.
2. 8GB RAM for the host system isn't enough. You devote some physical RAM to the VM, and with only 8GB, there isn't enough for either host OR guest to run properly.
