You can start more VMs with vmware-kvm:

1. Open vm-1: run vmware-kvm.exe vm-1

2. Press cycle hot key, default is "Pause" key (you may change by running vmware-kvm --preference)

3. Open vm-2: vmware-kvm.exe vm-2

4. Press cycle hot key to swich between vms

You can set the vm run on monitor primary/1/2 via vmware-kvm.exe --preferences. However the vms still will run on the same monitor.
