It upsets me when I think about a school struggling to put computers in front of students due to a limited budget. I fear that too many of them don’t have an understanding that there is a much more affordable approach. My goal for this post is to show you how I have implemented this type of solution in my home and to provide you with information on how you can implement it into your own home or office.

In this post I am going to present to you how to take one computer running Microsoft Windows and share it with multiple users. Each user will have their own desktop that can be used while other users are also using the system simultaneously, without interference.

Andy Not Andrew and Tech Butter used to be on their own separate domains. The former was my personal blog. The latter was my technical blog. After years of managing multiple WordPress blogs I migrated everything to one site.
