My dad told me to look into something called "parallel computing" but I don't really understand what it is or how to put it into practice.

I have a raspberry pi 4, and two windows computers.

I can wipe the raspberry pi and one windows computer, but I am looking to run games (that can't currently run with just the one computer) on the other windows computer.

I apologize if I'm being dumb, I don't know as much about computers as I'd like.

Others have covered why you can't really do what you're asking. The upshot is that there's decades of old PC games that'll run on the hardware you do have. Look into RetroPie for those raspberries, and hunt around Steam for games that'll meet whatever your spec is.

It's also not exactly what you're asking, but a lot of older games still hold up, especially when you're broke and bored.
