I want to try a Linux distro on my low-spec device for a proper comparison, but it seems any distro comparable to Windows 10 requires about 20GB to install. Therefore, deleting Windows 10 is necessary. According to "Google Gemini," if I want to revert to Windows, I can use the Media Creation Tool to create an installer on a Mac (my only option). However, it states that 32GB is required to install Windows 10, and my device only has about 30GB available after a factory reset. Is my aspiration impossible?

I'd say. A pc with that low storage is not even able to update the system as it requires more temporary storage to even begin.
Unless you find a way to improve your storage space, your project is IMHO bound to fail....
