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.

The short answer is: you don’t, sorry

The slightly less short answer is: when people are working on huge problems, they’ll come up with ways to split that problem into smaller chunks that can be solved individually, and then you could use parallel computing to solve all those little chunks at the same time across many different computers. It’s NOT something you can just do with any program you want, like a video game.
