Is Windows Server 2016 BIOS compatible?

Hello! I would like to know that Windows Server 2016 supports BIOS? I ask this because it will take lots of time for my computer to arrive, because we currently can't afford it. I would like to use Server 2016, because it looks really sleek, it has less crapware than Windows 10, and my computer fulfills the requirements. Also, my current computer doesn't support UEFI, only BIOS.

Also, don't just answer "buy a new computer, jerk" or something, because as I said, I have to wait for it at least a year or more.

And, one bigger question: Can I install the system to an MBR partition, NOT a GPT partition? As it's the only one that supports BIOS-based computers. I'm a bit worried. :(

Thanks for the answers.
