I'm looking to see if there's a way to run two completely separate user sessions on a single powerful Windows PC that's connected to two monitors. I want each session to feel like its own independent workstation, complete with dedicated keyboards and mice. Essentially, I want it to function as if there are two different PCs, but powered by one. Is this feasible?

You can definitely do this using virtualization! You'd basically need to set up a hypervisor and create two virtual machines (VMs) that can each access their own USB devices and GPU. Windows doesn't have a built-in way to do this, so using a hypervisor like Hyper-V would be your best bet. Make sure to enable virtualization in your BIOS and install Hyper-V on Windows.
If you just need basic VM access, you can actually run a couple of VMs directly within Windows. Hyper-V works alongside Windows pretty well for that!
