So for SONM OS all we need is a standard windows PC, format the disk and erase everything, and then rebuild with SONM OS. From this point that PC will be used on the SONM network and it will start to collect SONM tokens?

haven't tried sonm os yet, but you can dual boot windows and sonm os i guess. you might also have to do some configuration which shouldn't be hard to do.

I was thinking that most of us will have an old PC lying around which is sitting in a cupboard doing nothing, or even an old laptop. Could that be upgraded and used as a sonm generator or does it need some kind of special configuration and meet minimum spec?

i've got an old laptop that i'm planning on using to mine on somn, i dont think you need anything special as the auto installer takes care of that

its about you give calculation speed to the sonm server and server will give the sonm tokens according your calculation speed that you shared
and on the server someone need computing speed so they will use your computing speed gives sonm to the server accordnig to the speed they need and they used this is what Decentralized Fog Computing is.
this is very simplest explanation of sonm for you i hope you can understand.

Based on the server and your hardware we can mine the Sonm right or are they going to provide any special equipment for mining the sonm? Still, the Sonm price is cheap in the market which helps to reach a higher value in the market once the market starts recovering.

technically sonm is token and you cannot mine token. but you can give your hardware on rent to the sonm server. they will use it and in return they gives you sonm token as a reward. it looks like mining buy it is not.
i am in a shock right now because of the eth price huge dump. eth price is down to 150$ and sonm is eth based tokens it impact on sonm negative also
i never thought that eth price will go down like this
