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.

^ This.

Even simple stuff like SLI (having multiple GPUs for rendering games) can be complicated and not widely supported anymore. Parallel computing is basically reserved for servers at this point (which makes sense, if you're running something intensive like an AI service, you don't want to put it all on one server.)
