If you are allowed to install, I strongly recommend software called Synergy ( [Synergy - Share one mouse & keyboard across computers](https://symless.com/synergy) ) which is software to allow using a single keyboad and mouse across multiple machines, even different OS.

It was relatively cheap, US$29

(I started using it when I was a very pretentious young developer, and had Linux, Windows and Mac machines, with four monitors running at a time when few people had two. I grew up and learnt about Virtual Machines… one monitor is sufficient, though I do like two)
