You're exploring a unique approach to server setup. It's definitely feasible, though it requires careful planning. The idea of using separate partitions with individual OS installations is common and can work well if you manage it properly. You can install Windows 10 on each partition independently, ensuring each machine gets its own OS image. This way, changes made during booting via PXE or other methods will persist after a restart. It avoids the need for a single shared installation across all devices. Since your storage needs are modest (32GB per machine), you won't need to purchase large SSDs or numerous smaller drives. Just make sure to configure proper partitioning and boot options so each system boots correctly from its own partition.

It's achievable after several attempts, though it hasn't worked consistently. My workaround involved creating separate drives for each operating system and using F12 during startup to choose the correct one.

However, I'm attempting to operate one operating system per machine—meaning ten Windows 10 setups on an SSD across ten distinct computers.
