Is it the norm to be asked to use own computer for an Inside IR35 contract?

Reminds me of *********** Bank, the IT project department had to break rules in order to work. IT support had locked down the system so much it was impossible to work.

If you access secure databases certain rules apply, you don't want people to know about your genital crabs & impotence or your conviction for nicking panties.

On a well locked down computer that won't be permitted - trust me I have used a few. Most you couldn't even get the exe on to the computer without Admin rights.

None of the items I mentioned require installing. You just run the exe.

The issue there is 'install on client computer'. A button though less convenient doesn't require installing anything on locked down machines. Some of these you quite rightly have less rights than most, trust me you don't want people installing rubbish on computers that access certain networks.

My Dell monitor has built in KVM. To use the keyboard shortcuts to switch, you set it all up on your primary PC and then you copy the exe file over to your client supplied kit and it runs without the need to install anything.

Or AnyDesk is another handy tool - allows you to remotely access another computer without installing anything. Again, you just copy the exe and launch it.

Hardware KVM switch? That is what I used with my personal laptop, server (back when running a windows one locally made sense), RaspberryPI and client laptop.

It allows you to use a decent keyboard, mouse (I have big hands) https://www.trust.com/en/product/241...wireless-mouse and big screen (4k) on all the machines.
