I'm pretty sure that Windows 10/11 won't run with less than 4GB left in the 
host.

Anyway, it's not clear whether we are talking about the lack of RAM (and where 
Sumitra sees too few memory... in the Linux VM or in the Windows host?) or 
about Storage?

@Sumitra, I wasn't aware of you running Linux in a VM, so my previous message 
may have confused you. I was assuming that you build in a Linux host and run 
(at least a Linux VM for tests.

Now your set-up is clear: Linux on Windows.

Can you please run `df -h` on your Linux VM and post the output? In the 
meantime post your `cat /proc/meminfo`. As said I am not sure about what kind 
of memory you are talking about. Let us see the output.

Thanks,

Fabio
