Can I use my broken laptop as a server?

I just bought a new laptop because the hinges on my old one were broken and the battery has been awful for two years now so I wanted to give it new life by turning it into a server for me and one friend. I have Starlink and where I live it's not that great at all so it will be at a friend's house that has much better Internet thus I will not have access to it whenever I want. I know I can do remote work with it but in the event something else happens physically then it will be up to him to help. So before I go through all the trouble, will i5 8265u, 8gb of RAM, and NV137/Mesa Intel UHD graphics be enough for just me and him to run Vault hunters ? I use bisect hosting with 8 gigs and it's fine but I know the CPU is outdated. I know it would probably run it but how well?? The laptop is MSI PS63 Modern IRC for anyone that may know or will ask. Thanks for any tips! I can definitely upgrade the RAM since I have an extra memory socket btw
