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.
See:

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.
