How safe: Simultaneously Running Two VM/Guest OS Under Same Win User AC
 

Good day to all,

I have a technical question, perhaps people with better IT understanding than I enjoy, can guide me here. I have made the following set-up on my new machine.


Setup:

• • New Windows 10 installation
  • Created two User Accounts
  • Installed VMWare
  • VM under each Windows User Account has two guest OS (Win HP & Win 8)
  • Each guest OS within VM has completely different browser and other software installed lest it should create similarity
  • VPN with static IP under each VM

Question:
How safe is it considered if I run two VMs concurrently under one User Account to run two stealth eBay/PayPal accounts? I find it simple as each VM is as handy as clicking on browser tab and instantly

I haven't started the set-up yet, however thought of asking experienced folks for their verdict.

Appreciate your guidance.

Regards,

Same user account with multiple VMware works perfectly fine. Its how I do it.

Makes switching accounts a lot easier than having to log out and back in to user accounts

If you are using multiple user accounts, you dont need VM. VM has the most benefit on one user.

You are perfectly fine.

As yankee said above you do not need to have VM on 2 different user accounts. You can run 4 VMs from the same user account.

Be sure your VPNs are correctly configured, dedicated to each account.

This is not really necessary.
