Using Windows 8.1 pro I am trying to set up my PC as a server that can run as different PCs (whether virtual or with thin clients) in different rooms in my house. I don't know how to configure this in Windows if it is possible or if there is any specialty software for this. If I have to I will end up buying a thin client, but the type I need to run dual monitors is a little more pricey than I'd like to spend.
Basically my setup is like this: PC hooked up to television with gaming controllers as a steam machine. I have dual monitors in an office upstairs with keyboard, mouse, speakers and printer. I was using long HDMI and USB cables to plug in. I want to be able to use this as a separate PC. In the future I would even like to add additional monitors in other rooms to act as other standalone machines. I have just been extending the desktop for now, but if there is a time where both are being used at the same time this won't work.
I've been researching this for a while and I found some software called BeTwin by ThinSoft. This is probably my best solution, but I'll give some more time for someone to answer if they have a better homemade solution. – deadflowers – 2014-11-14T19:24:07.033
