how much need of disk space for virtual machine

[GötzW]

I want to transfer my pc to a virtual machine on Mac through a external disk. I did copy to that external disk. But now there is not enough space on the hard disk of the Mac.
Ok. But how much?
I freed 86 GB on the Mac. The file on the external disk is 78 GB. PD means I need 73 GB but I have 38 GB only (?).
What is true? Or better: How much will I need?

Empty trash files from your Mac then restart your Mac and try running Windows virtual machine check how it works?

well I did. But no success.
Meanwhile I got a remote session and the information the free disk space should 10GB be more than the PVM.
But we could run the PVM on the external disk which is enough for my actual situation.
