Upgrade to Windows NT server

I have a small Point of Sale system for a Dinning Facility that is using a windows NT 4.0 OS and I would like to upgrade it to windows NT server. Can this be done? Can you upgrade a NT workstation to NT server?

You cannot "upgrade" from workstation to server. A fresh install is
required.

You can not upgrade any MS workstation operating system to a server
operating system. A format and reinstall is required.

You might consider installing Win 2k or Win 2k3. NT 4.0 will not be
supported that much longer.

Well it was scheduled to go out of support at the end of this year. They
seem to be updating that information at the link I sent you but it says
check back June first to see the updated info.
