Running Two Instances of the same program? (Origin)

Adjo

I use two accounts on Origin (The game launcher), meaning I have to switch between the two. 

 

I'd like to be able to run two instances of the game, if possible so I won't have to log in and out every time I want to play a different game from my accounts. Is there a way to do this? I'm aware sandboxie is a thing, but it seems like it always deletes whatever that window had? Is there a way to make it save so I can just make it work normally like with one account? (Auto login whenever the PC starts) I'm not planning on running two games at once (not even the same game). But rather the launchers. Is this possible somehow? 

 

Thank you

can you just transfer all the games to one account?

VM can't run games, defeat the purpose. Unless you split the pc in two (with unraid).

I wouldn't be able to get the best performance I assume? Cause I have games on both accounts.

Tried to ask support, but they weren't really too interested in doing that.

Not strictly true. Some can ..but its a real PITA to find the right combination of VM version, and OS version that works with the game in question

 

For example VMware workstation v7 + W7basic + Eve Online works fine. but u have to find the right combination of program and OS versions, some combination simple wont run, or will run but have truly terrible performance.
