Windows 10: Win 10 + hypervisor?

New, well very new, kid here; trying to find a way to run two copies of Win 10 concurrently on one desktop. Both copies are legal, licensed, paid for installations. The intent is to use one keyboard, one mouse, an array of monitors virtually assigned to one or the other Win 10 session, and at the interface to the outside world, two unique internet IP addresses - all of this to see if the fuss is worth it - or buy a 2nd desktop. Issue is, I have no idea even where to start, but I figured if anyone would know, it would be Microsoft enthusiasts. If nothing else, direction(s) to a relevant forum or other discussion would be perfect! Thanks for any tips!



Win 10 version 2004

Windows Hypervisor

I have already tried all of these things and have now created a thread over on superuser Hypervisor BCD Won't Boot as
per your suggestion.

 

Win 10 + hypervisor?

I would look at ESXi hypervisor to host your Windows 10 VMs. I have not used it, though, so I really don't know much about it. But it sounds like what you want is a bare metal type I hypervisor. I think the biggest problem you are going to have is that most bare metal type I hypervisors are probably going to be looking for server hardware.

 

Windows hypervisor is not running

Everytime I do a startup, I get a:
