Hello @ladecasa.luis and welcome to the forum.

This belongs into Tinkering IMHO as it is about MOCK and not ROCK. ROCK is (currently) supported on intel NUC’s only (ROCK’s hardware support). Posting this in Support is asking for what was made clear in advance is not given. Your case is:

From the already linked guide about ROCK above.

Maybe some other user over in tinkering may have a good advice or even first hand experience with the same hardware you are using. I currently would advise you to check BIOS settings of your machine (UEFI vs BIOS) as newer ROCK will only run on (proper) UEFI. If you already did that and it doesn’t work, it may just not work (anymore) – see Roon Lab’s statement above.

Install windows and the windows roonserver. Or linux using DietPi for PC and then the Linux roonserver.

And both will be supported by Roon support.

As far as I’m aware, this hardware is too old for Windows 10 (no driver and support from Lenovo for Windows 10 on this Sandy Bridge hardware) and Roon Labs only supports Roon on Windows 10 and newer (and here I suspect this means still supported {by Microsoft} versions of Windows 10). So this leaves the OP with Linux as only real choice for Roon Server only (still no supported Roon Control {UI} for Linux, but the Windows version can be used with Wine or the Android version using Emulators).
