It looks SQL Server 2014 is the newest version that is supported with 10.3.1. Microsoft SQL Server database requirements for ArcGIS 10.3.x—Help | ArcGIS Desktop 

You would need to move to 10.4.x or newer client to use SQL Server 2016: Microsoft SQL Server database requirements for ArcGIS 10.4.x—System Requirements | ArcGIS Desktop

The Server 2012 desktop is similar to Windows 8, so it has the Metro theme, unlike Server 2008.  I found myself using the Windows key often.

To find new applications I had installed, I had to hit the Windows key, bring up the desktop, then scroll right.
