2 x HDD 72 GB Scsi U320 3.5" without sled
RAM 4 GB
Dual integrated 10/100/1000 Ethernet

Questions:

Can be put on it Windows 10 home (pro)
*2 processors will be used (interesting).
You can put elementary OS on it.
It is designed only for Windows Server
*If only Windows Server, then you can work on it like on regular Windows.
It can be used as a home computer
Estimated cost of upgrading (your opinion).
Features of operation (your opinion, approximately).

Thank you in advance for your response.
