Can you run Virtual Desktop Classic?

Below the baron a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), storage is the tightest fit.

Free up space before installing Virtual Desktop Classic: it needs roughly 700 GB of SSD storage. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, NVidia GTX 640 or 980M or ATI HD 7000/Rx 200 and 4 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.

Bottleneck: Storage

Large install. Virtual Desktop Classic needs about 700 GB of SSD of free storage.

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
