FAQ SoftXpand Home

SoftXpand Home desktop virtualization software adds an extra workstation to your existing PC.
SoftXpand Home, as part of the SoftXpand Product Suite, is specially designed for the Home environment and allows 2 users to work simultaneously, independently and seamlessly while using a single computer. That means each user can surf the web, play a computer game, or watch a movie, and enjoy all of the versatility and freedom of a stand-alone PC; but at a fraction of the cost.

SoftXpand Home can be installed on Windows XP Professional edition 32 bit (SP 2 or SP3) only!

You can use any hardware configuration that meets the SoftXpand Home Hardware and Software requirements. Each workstation only needs a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a video card output port. If you don’t have an extra video port you can use DisplayLink USB devices (USB monitor, docking station, or adapter). Please refer to the SoftXpand – Display Link quick installation guide for more information.

Almost certainly, yes! As long as it meets the Hardware and Software requirements. With SoftXpand Home, you can turn your existing PC into 2 workstations just by using an extra video port of your dual-head video card. If you have a single-head video card you can either add another video card to your PC, or you can use DisplayLink USB device (USB monitor, docking station, or adapter) to connect the extra monitor.

Most video cards today have dual-head video ports (DVI and/or VGA) to which you can easily connect two monitors and get 2 SoftXpand Home workstations. If you have a single-head video card you can either add another video card to your PC, or you can use DisplayLink USB device (USB monitor, docking station, or adapter) to connect the extra monitor.
