Newbie - Workstation host requirements and other questions

Hi,

New to VMWARE.

I want to start using VMWARE Workstation.

I want to create multiple images with snapshots of the following environments on one Windows 10 hots

1st VM - Windows server 2016 with SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange to set up users with emails

2nd VM - Windows 10 with Office 2017

3rd VM Windows 8.1 with Office 2013

4th VM Windows 7 with Office 2010

create these on a virtual domain . All users can access each of the above VMs

Once I have created the above I will create a snapshot of these and these will be my base.

Then I can add other software and do some tests and once finished I can go back to the original VM's and start again.

I was wondering what kind of hardware spec in terms of memory and RAM I should have on my base PC so that I can have the above setup, run them simultaneously if needed and not run in to performance issues?

Is there a way to calculated what kind of hardware I should be using ?

Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks
