It is important to understand the limitations of using a desktop operating system like Windows 7, 8 and 10 as a server. Microsoft has implemented some strict limitations on concurrent requests in Internet Information Server on these platforms (varying from 3 to 10 simultanous requests depending on OS edition), so you will experience, that just adding one more workstation doesn't just make the system gradually slower, but may change the response time from i.e. 0.5 seconds to 30 seconds per request. |
