  nowadays come with Windows 10 drivers. «

  Caution:  If you want a supported environment, running Windows Server on a desktop platform is generally not supported.  As Anne indicated, a system must exist on windowsservercatalog.com in order to be supported.  

  This does not mean that it will not run.  I’ve run Windows Server quite successfully on desktop systems, but I did it with the understanding that I was my own support.  No official support from Microsoft.

  As for device drivers … if it is a desktop system, Windows Server will install some default device drivers, but that will most likely not cover everything and it may limit you to the capabilities of some devices.  For example, the default video driver
  is not likely to give you all the video options on your monitor.  In that case, you download the device driver from the vendor’s site, and it should work.  However, if it does not work, you may still be limited because if the vendor does not support
  that device on Windows Server, they are not likely to provide support for it on Windows Server.

  Bottom line is that it can be quite successful, but you are the primary support when anything goes wrong.

• Thank you guys.

  Tim, If i go to vendor website and download Windows 10 drivers, will Windows Server 2019 accept it? 

  For example, Windows 10 accepts Windows 7 drivers in most cases. 

• Only the vendor can answer for sure. You may just have to try it. Always install the manufacturer chipset as first step. The chipset allows the operating system find and use devices integrated into the mother board.

  I agree with Dave.  Only the vendor of the driver can make a statement on the driver.  Microsoft is not responsible for the driver.  And remember that the term ‘accept’ is not synonymous with ‘support’.  Just because something seems to
  run on the system does not imply its support.

  That said, I cannot recall a time when a Win10 driver did not work on Windows Server.  Again, not supported, but appeared to work.

• Even with servers, you’d never run the actual server as the base OS.  I’ve been a decade since I’ve seen servers deployed as the base OS.

  Instead.  Deploy Windows 10.  Add the Hyper-V feature.  Install Windows Server 2019 as a VM.  All drivers issues are then forced on Windows 10 which should be very compatible.

  Pretty broad statement.  Yes, virtualization has become much more prevalent, but saying ‘never’ is not accurate.  It is not at all uncommon for a physical machine to be running multiple applications on a single instance of the operating system. 
  In some situations is makes more sense to run an application on physical than on virtual, as there is a need to use all the capability of the physical hardware, without losing any to the overhead required by virtualization.  Or there are specific hardware
  needs that cannot be virtualized.

  «Deploy Windows 10.  Add the Hyper-V feature.  Install Windows Server 2019 as a VM. «

  One loses some of the capabilities of Hyper-V when running in the client environment, such as live migration and Hyper-V replica and more.  Running Server as a VM on client works well for a lab environment, but it was not designed to be a replacement
  to running Windows Server for production on a certified hardware platform.
