I found an old laptop I had.

 

It's Acer Aspire 5301AWLMi, I mean it was one of the good ones back in the day.

 

It has;

 

Intel Core Duo T2050,

 

iGPU 950

1.5 GB DDR2 RAM

 

Is it possible to bump this(or is it good now) old laptop to a level that it can run a Windows server? (2012 preferred)

If you want to test some configuration, it would be fine.  However, if your planning this for long-term production, I would advise against this.  It's a closed system, and it's not a question of "if", but "when" it will fail.  With no warranty, or easy way to fix it, and if you become dependent on it, you're screwed.
