I am looking for a solution for my students who all have Chromebooks (which are locked down).

Their opportunities will be greatly expanded if they had access to Windows-based software (Blender, Unreal Engine, 3D slicing software, etc.,).

I have access to a couple desktop machines that I could host virtual boxes on if there was some way for them to remote into them through a web browser.

Is that something that is possible, and where would I get the information to get started hosting something like that?

If not, are there any alternative solutions that do not require a paid subscription?

    I would go for something Cloud based like Azure virtual desktop or similar. I don’t think Kasm has a cloud option.

      Why?

      There are not benefits in the cloud solution over the hosted server. It could even be more expensive on the long run…

      And yes, kasm has a cloud solution in its web page
