Can I use Windows Server 2012 as my primary system?

Question

Windows

I want to put on a laptop in 2012, Windows server 2012 and use it as a regular desktop system. Is it possible? Will it be installed on regular distributions as well?

Specifications
of laptop Pentium T4400 (Dual core 2.2Hz)
GeForce G105M
2 GB RAM

Answer 1

Yes it is possible. Just install windows server 2012 r2. It will be like a seven.

Answer 2

If you are very patient, then yes, but it's better to buy a normal business class beech from your hands.
something like Lenovo X250

Answer 3

Surely you will not have sound on such a bunch, because. there are usually no drivers for sound for server operating systems.
Can you specify what it is for?

Answer 4

Perhaps, but there is one BUT.
2 GB of RAM is very little for such a system.
It is installed in the same way as regular distributions.
Turn on the roles - desktop experience (extended desktop experience, it seems) and get, in general, some kind of analogue of client Windows 7.

Answer 5

It makes no sense to use the server edition of Windows instead of the client one at all, only if you need its services (iis, wsus, dfs, ps, etc.)
Install Win 7 sp1 64bit msdn and you will have both speed and reliability
