Is there a way to do a 2-person virtualization build? For the OS, I am using Microsoft software swap($35). Monitors need to be included and it is preferred for over locking. Thanks

What are you doing with the PC(s)? Is that US?

You'd be better off just finding windows for free over paying for a reseller's key

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

What games or other software do you need to run?
