Got a Microsoft Dreamspark subscription. But there are no desktop versions of Windows (8, 7, 8.1). Found only server OS. Therefore, the question arose whether server operating systems differ greatly from desktop versions of analogues (Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012).

There is information about converting a server to a home system. I have been doing this trick since 2008, games were played - just on the way, but some applications refused to install, referring to OS incompatibility or refused to work, offering to buy an extended version.

They differ in the set of applications. You can put it on a personal one (how do your servers differ from a PC?), if the license does not contradict, but is there any point - I'm not sure.

There is a desktop version. You just need to approach the IT specialists (department) of your university. And get her there. And it doesn't really exist on the website. Regarding the differences ... xs. You just need to pee.

You can put it, but a lot of things will not work. For example, almost all games will definitely not be. Plus, many free applications refuse to run on WinServer with the words "buy an elephant, you have an enterprise here."
Well, yes, Dreamspark definitely has desktop versions.
