Looking for Minimum hardware requirements. Currently on a server and needing to upgrade. Wanting to make sure what to upgrade the server to.

The minimum requirements for a server are really just to be able to host an accessible file share. Unless the server itself is going to be used as a workstation for PowerChurch, in which case Windows Vista (~2006 era hardware) is still compatible, so a new OS shouldn't be an issue.
What is published in the requirements for storage space is 400MB or more.

Thanks, we have a Windows Server 2012 box. Previously they were told that they could not upgrade Powerchurch on that server.

FWIW ... Server 2012 is very old, and has been out of support for a while. You can host Powerchurch on a NAS drive because it would actually run on the client computer.
If you really want to dedicate a computer to this, get one of the small computer platforms like an Intel NUC with an Intel I3 or I5 processor
