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.

    I can’t really buy anything, as I’m 16 and don’t have a job or an allowance.

    The other windows computer is my brother’s old one. (he is building a new computer) The raspberry pi is my own. (I got it for christmas a few years back)

      We’ve all been there. I remember back in high school scavenging every free-to-play game on the play store. To this day I have no standards for graphics and frame-rates, since I always gamed on old and low-end hardware. Something I didn’t know back then (maybe it wasn’t true back then); there are plenty of great indie games that are dirt cheap and light enough run on old laptops. might have to tailor your tastes in that direction for a while to match your budget. I think there were plenty of this type of game in this post and its comments.
