I'm not sure how small a pruned node can get but I'd imagine 64gb is not enough space.

Though I think that can be easily solved with a USB hard drive. If you're running a pruned node, you can likely get away with 500gb? If I'm not mistaken, right now the full blockchain is around 512gb.

In fact I'd suggest you simply get a 1tb drive and run a full node. Price-wise I don't think it's a big difference between the two (could be wrong, haven't checked).

Thanks, this is helpful! Do you think the machine (which seems pretty “weak” as far as I can tell) would be able to cope with running Bitcoin core for at least a few hours a day?

It's probably on the cusp but i think it can do it. I don't think it takes too much power to run core. 4gb ram and 2 cores probably bare bare min.

Nah.

It can run on less.

He'll be fine
