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

How long you would be able to run your laptop to min SOMN? I don't think to use laptop is a good idea, desktop computer is better than a laptop. You can desktop computer as long as you want but for laptop you cant do that.

A laptop is better. Low power consumption. My laptop participates in another network testnet which is sharing disk space. Like I said very low power consumption since it involves mostly the hard disk resource. It can't obviously use its CPU for PoW. Grin

Okay but I think you cant run your laptop all time you have to switch off as it will be hot in few hours and on the other hand desktop computer needs a lots of time and if you have additional fan then it can run more than day even week.
