    Are multiple installations of minecraft necessary for multiple computer users?


    I and my two children each own copies of minecraft, with our own account name/avatar etc. I have also, reluctantly, created Microsoft accounts for each of us when it became the only way to continue to play the game. My question is: in Windows 11 this pop-up-befuddled, less-and-less-a-free-PC OS is it really necessary to install/unpack/what-have-you a new copy of all the minecraft files just to launch the game under a different computer user?

    Are multiple installations of minecraft necessary for multiple computer users?

    I think you might be confusing yourself with something called Terminal Services, although this requires a Windows Server operating system, and more than one computer - it does allow for multiple users 'desktops' to be stored on the main machine.
    As far as connecting more than one monitor, keyboard/mouse etc im not sure its possible, certainly not on windows xp or vista as they allow for no more than one user to be logged in at the same time (ignoring fast user switching, thats still not truly simultaneous like it would be on terminal services).
