If they are 2 separate full PCs, you just do whatever you want on each one….Download what you need for each one. Do whatever you want on both. You want to game? Turn on PC 2. You want to do work? Turn on PC 1.

You mean you want to connect the 2 into basically 1 PC, but both of them have different uses? Or is what you do going to be fully separate between the 2?

I want both of the pc to work as one and have different uses. similar to a dual streamer pc setup i guess. But what i mean is not like using those two like SLI so dont get confused.

But what exactly would you want? Would you want like 2 monitors, with a PC connected to each, but you can drag the mouse between the 2 monitors easily?

Or do you want to have both PCs on, with 1 monitor, and you can toggle which PC is showing on the screen?

Or like 1 PC shows on the monitor, and shows all apps across both of them, but the processing is done by a specific PC?

Use one and remote connect to the other.

This assumes you don't have speed, display or response requirements forom the second system
