Hi:

 

Yes, you do have a big problem, as that PC can only run W10.

 

There is no way to install any other OS but W10 on that model PC.

 

If you have to install a Windows Server OS, it would have to be one of the versions that is equivalent to W10.

 

The reason why the KB and mouse don't work is because W7, Windows Server 2008 do not have the required USB 3.1 drivers in the installation files to work any of the USB ports.  The USB 2 ports don't work until after the operating system is installed.

You're very welcome.

 

You would have to find an old PC that has support for Windows Vista.

 

Some of those might run Windows Server 2008.

 

There is no PC newer than ones with the Intel 2nd generation core processors that can run Server 2008 that I know of.
