Hi guys,

i was wondering how can i set up a server that gives his computing (cpu and gpu) power to many clients (windows PCs and tablets, maybe also phones but if isnt possible is ok...) while having windows running. So the main problem is:

How can i set up a pc to run windows AND sth else that controls other devices (what could do that)? The idea is to have many ppl (5-6) using from their homes their devices using the power of my server (so data would be mostly stored on the server), but I need it to run windows too, and i cant use an external device, so i really have to use the server as primary PC...

Is this possible?

Thanks,

EMENCII

As @Rheinwasser says,
Using virtual machines with for example Teamviewer running on them will do the trick.

Teamviewer has mobile apps so it will be accessable from everywhere as long as you have a internet connection.

Oh, thanks guys! I know teamviewer, i use it, but how exactly to use virtual machines? I'm totally new to the topic... Any advice would be great :D
