Hi

Not sure it's the right place, but I'll explain: how can several people use the same PC (Windows) easily, no cables? Are there any devices that let you connect as a console to a main PC (powerful enough) without costing much?

Well, for one thing, standard Windows OS is not a multi-user OS environment. You will need Windows 2016 Server edition as well as needing hardware where the other users could log into the system (such as setting up CITRIX software and services). Then you would thin or zero clients for the multiple people to have a monitor/keyboard/mouse, something like the Dell Wyse 7010 or similar (it will cost around $300-800 per thin/zero client depending on what you need). In other words, it is not cheap, and in many cases, you can get a crappy laptop for the same costs.
