My Windows laptops typically have 1 - 2 TB SSD storage, sometimes more. Max out the memory and the box will do service for some further time yet. The Linux boxes run well on ~250 GB SSDs, though.

Not really. Photos take up space. A current windows with CS Suite, MS Office and some other RAW Converters and editors can be installed in less than 45GB. The C-Drive on my Laptop is 60GB to leave some temporary space.

Simply clean out the TEMP files and Caches and delete all the backups of earlier windows installations.

128GB SSD is enough. If you need space for DATA too, go for a bigger SSD and create a DATA partition.

My ssd drive contains OS and programs only, all other files, photos, documents go directly onto a 2nd internal hard drive which again is backed up regularly.
This laptop since 2014 is a Dell Precision M4800 ws with 32gb ram, 2 hard drives, intel I7 cpu 2,8ghz, with integrated video plus an amd fire pro gpu , etc.
Also i have an older since 2009 self build pc also with I7 cpu max ram at 16ghz, still running perfectly a bit on the slow side compared to the mentioned workstation laptop.
Thanks :)

If your programs and windows take up 20 times more space than necessary, you might want to analyze what actually takes up this space: https://www.jam-software.de/treesize_free/

Too dramatic hardware changes for the tastes of Microsoft. One has to use their telephone activation procedure, which works but is very tedious to accomplish.
