> Is Windows Desktop OS VM good or Server OS VM is good for Jenkins installation ?
No, none of them. Despite the "Server" part in the name even Windows Server isn't a (good) server OS (file locks, desktop popups, slow filesystem, etc). We've just migrated away from a Windows based Jenkins master to a Linux based one a few months ago and all those problems are gone now. Do yourself a favour and avoid Windows if you can...
Just my 2 cents.
Bye...

We use ServerOS. We have four running systems worldwide so far. Server 2012 and 2016 with no server related issues on any. I don’t know any reason that Server would be required however for any of the below…
All are now running Windows Server as VM’s on ESXi 6.5 Hosts.
ESXi 6.5 Host
Windows Server 2012/16
vCenter (if ESXi fails to start you can bypass vCenter anyway, so it being hosted on the machine it admins is not an issue)
Jenkins
Windows Server 2012/16
Visual SVN
Windows Server 2012/16
VS 2012/15/17 Build servers (running Cruise Control, but talking about switching to Jenkins)
