I have a used server HP PROLIANT ML350 G5. Which Windows OS should I install? Windows Server or other Windows software. On the other hand, what should I do to prepare the server hard disks. For now, with an old version of Windows Server, I have not arrived. Can not partion the main disk. The buyer had installed Windows 10 for tests only. Do I have to do it ?

Please find the link for OS support Matrix for different HPE server. You can choose the Server family and the OS version and it will show if your server is supported by any OS.
