The setup supports a reasonable number of concurrent players depending on the chosen OS. With the given hardware, a Linux distribution would likely perform better under load, while Windows could work but may struggle with sustained performance. Running 50 players is feasible, though you should monitor resource usage closely.
I host Minecraft Server on an i5-8300H with 1TB SSD and 8GB RAM, that works well. You might need faster internet to prevent lag for players, and setting up port forwarding is essential. Windows seems like a solid choice. Performance depends mainly on single-core speed—let me know if you're mistaken.
1Gbps should suffice, possibly supporting 50 players simultaneously on a 16GB server without delays.
