Parallel work in Windows, one person through RDP, the second, as a local computer?

Question

Windows

Greetings. I've never done it, that's the question. If there is a computer I'm working on (a regular desktop), is it possible for a second person to work on it in parallel via RDP? And then there is the question of programs, will they each have their own (installation, update) or do they need to be installed separately for each user?

Answer 1

Legal only for Winserver
In fact - you can use rdpWrapper to activate multilogin on a regular Windows.
General programs

Answer 2

1. Only for Windows Server. For desktop systems under a license, only one user can work at the same time with the desktop.
2. If the programs are installed "for everyone", in Program Files, then they are available to all users. If "for me", in User\Application Data, then only to the user who installed them.

Answer 3

a normal workstation will lock the desktop if someone connects via rdp
Server Windows allows multiple users to work, each in their own desktop.
Programs are common, but not all programs allow multi-user interaction.
Office - allows

Answer 4

You can, but on the server (winserver, in the sense), up to three people for free, then for some money. There is no such feature in the workstation - it locks the desktop when connected remotely. Yes, there are pirated ways to make a server from a desktop - but with this to other forums.
Programs can be both general and personal. As a rule, the program is set as a general one.
