It works like this.
You install windows on a client pc.
Then you make an image file out of that installation.
You put the image file on the server.
Clients do PXE boot and use the image file on the server.
Apps are retrieved from the server.
It's highly suggested that you use CAT 6 + Gigabit switches for this setup because of the network boot stuff,
What are the advantages using Windows instead of a small and lightweight Linux like Ubuntu Mate or Lubuntu?
Because Windows licences cost a lot of money.
Well I guess Windows are widely use OS because it can easily understand and mostly know how to use it compare to Linux and correct me if I'm wrong only the server has the disk drive so if the server installed with Windows base OS then that all PC are connected to it will be Windows also.
