Um...I just leave my computer on all of the time and turn the monitors off.

How many billable hours would it take to rearrange everything every morning?

Windows 10, or really anything Win7 and up, should be able to handle four monitors. It's more a matter of hardware, the operating system is fully capable. Video drivers vary but four monitors is nothing anymore.

Considering the VM's that would have to be started, it takes me about 30 minutes to get everything back to where I want it. My box has been doing some crashing lately, so that's never fun to wake up to.

Da Fuq?

OP has gone with that solution, and now has 4 external monitors running off of his laptop. I even did tech support with him to set it up.

Dammit Craig, I was happy with the 27" 4K I have. Now I can't help but think about a few more monitors surrounding me.

I have BIG dedicated UPS for the tower, and 3 more UPS's for each bank of 4 monitors. Even more for the cable modem and routers.

I just ordered 2 of these for myself as well, and another 4 28" monitors. I have room for 1 more video card, but now they are so hard to find because of the bitcoin mining, so what the hell, this solution works great, so problem solved, and saved me a few bucks.

I will now have 16 28" monitors on 1 computer.
