I will get an older PC server from a friend soon. I would like

If you are acctually gonna work in PS and sketch up, it will not be so nice over remote controls.

Install Linux or Windows server 2012 r2. Windows server is easy mode and you can just share folders from Explorer.

Sell your PCs and get a better iPhone.

Is it possible to connect printers to the server and print from every pc connected to it?

Doing all at the same time is usually done with a virtual machine host of sorts that runs server daemons, but I'd kinda suggest with a Linux file server & run programs locally unless you know what you are doing & are willing to fix hardware from network to this computer.

Yup. In multiple ways, but the common one is sharing them using samba / windows network sharing. Then again how old are these that they aren't networked yet?

>>62163410
Sure, if you're using Windows server that's one of the options the "File and Print" server option will let you set up

Its a few years old samsung printer, but I had some driver problems and not all functions worked over network, unless connected by a cable.

So the easiest way would be to run windows server 2012 and to run programs locally? Printer and shared files are what I need on the server, programs would be just a bonus, but if its too much of a hassle Id rather run them locally

Linux with Samba, CUPS and whatever else you want, possibly with remote desktop.

Windows server can be run in a VM if really needed.
