I have a computer hardware with: intel® core™ i7-11700kf 32GB DDR4 Ram and a motherboard Asus Z590-A LGA. I want to convert that computer into a server with window 2016 standard for small (5 computers max) network . Raid 5 is preferred ? Is it possible?

Hi Ahmad Hussein,
Windows Server requires ECC (Error Correcting Code) RAM which is not supported by Intel core i7-11700KF. Some features of the OS may not be available if you install Windows Server 2016 on it.
The hardware requirements for Windows Server can be found here.

Thank you Ian. I will take your advice. Would PCSP P920 Workstation/Server, 2X Intel Gold 5118 2.3GHz work instead?
Yes, the Intel Xeon Gold 5118 meets all the Windows Server requirements.
