It has a 64GB eMMC which should just fit Windows and a few astro programs but it will probably be quite slow so I wouldn't plan on doing any planetary imaging directly to that drive. Perhaps you could get better speeds with a fast SD card in there but you'd have to test. For deep sky imaging I can't see why it wouldn't work fine.

It's certainly not an amazing computer by any stretch but it's pretty impressive what you can get for under $300!
Indeed - found that out last night too, though it seems SOME installations that were installed as S WON'T unlock to Pro without an extra-paid license...https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/13/1...s-10-pro-guide

Seems the OP's cheap laptop/notebook fits into the "You must pay" category.
