Hi,

I have an old pc that I would like to use as an storage to install games on. I know about parsec and moonlight for streaming games, but it probably won’t work in that case since GPU on that PC is pretty crappy, so I would rather use one from my everyday PC. The possibilities I see here are to either use this PC only as external storage and read files from it via some kind of protocol, or connect to it with something like remote desktop and “borrow” my everyday PC GPU’s power. It would be nice if it wouldn’t be super slow solution when using over WAN since I would like to give a friend access to it. Would something like this even be possible?

    I think you would be better off removing the drive from the old PC and just installing it into your new PC to access the drive that way. It would be much faster since you would get rid of the network bottleneck. If you don’t have the room to install the drive into your new PC, I would just share the drive over the network and then map it to your new PC.
